2013 OUTLOOK

Since mid-September 2013, the growth curve inverted and the business started to grow again.

The economic recovery is noticeable in all business sectors.

Given the slight decline in business since January until now, 2013 growth will depend, in particular, on net hirings in the last quarter.

Organic growth is likely to be around 0.50% this year.
