country of origin: Amundi is a credit institution governed by all applicable legislative and
regulatory provisions and its statutes.
B.4b Trend information: In 2018, although economic growth remained significantly positive in the
major regions of the world, significant divergences emerged. Buoyed by
the budgetary measures of the Trump administration, the US economy
posted an excellent performance. This could not be said of the eurozone,
where growth was very disappointing due to both internal and external
factors. And lastly, the situation gradually deteriorated in emerging
countries, this being very exposed to the Chinese downturn and to
international trade tensions.
United States
2018 was synonymous with solid economic performances for the USA:
after a cautious start early in the year, growth accelerated markedly in Q2
and Q3, taking advantage of the budgetary stimulus provided by the 2017
Tax Cut and Jobs Act. Whilst effects on consumer spending were only
visible subsequently (consumer spending having posted particularly low
levels in Q1, only accelerating at the end of the year), non-residential
investment rose significantly in the first six months of 2018, before
seeing a clear slowdown in Q3. Residential investment, on its part, had an
impact on growth throughout the year. Confidence remained particularly
buoyant in all sectors of the US economy. In households, optimism rose
steadily, and only Q4 revealed some signs of a slowdown. Corporate
confidence, both in terms of services as well as manufacturing activity,
remained close to its highest levels for most of the year. The labour
market continued to improve, even breaking previous records according
to many indicators. As for wages, growth is gradually nearing trends
observed in previous cycles, although it still remains below those levels.
In the first half of the year, underlying inflation and official inflation
recovered well from their 2017 low points, whilst the temporary negative
effects dissipated. More specifically, the general index took advantage, to
a large extent, of the positive baseline effects of energy prices.
Nevertheless, with the lessening of these effects in the second half of the
year, both price indexes ended up by converging at lower levels, reaching
just over 2% currently. The Federal Reserve continue to harden its
monetary policy by raising interest rates four times during the year, in the
light of solid growth and stable inflation. The introduction of customs
duties by Washington on a large number of Chinese imports and other
key trade partners added a dimension of conflict to US trade policy,
stoking fears of a trade war between the USA and China, the negative
effects of which will have an impact on trade growth and confidence.
Eurozone
European economic figures were very disappointing in 2018. GDP
growth in the eurozone in fact was only 1% during the first three quarters
of the year, compared to 2% in the last three quarters of 2017. Several
negative factors were at play. First, industrial activity and exports were
penalised by the high level of the euro at the beginning of the year and by
international trade tensions. Second, for temporary reasons (linked to
changes in anti-pollution standards), German car production fell
significantly in Q3. The rise in the price per barrel up to October was also
a negative factor. Third, political uncertainty remained a major issue, to a
varying extent, in the major countries: difficulty in reaching a
government majority in Germany at the beginning of the year, budgetary
trial of strength between Italy and the European Commission from the
summer onwards, and significant social tensions in France in Q4. We
would add that at the end of the year, visibility regarding Brexit
rise in energy prices, the increase in the underlying index (excluding
energy and supplies) remained stuck at around 1%. In December, the
European Central Bank brought an end to the asset purchase programme,
but its capacity to raise its interest rates in 2019 remained very uncertain.
Emerging economies
Despite significant divergences between countries, growth of emerging
economies was robust in the first quarter of 2018 against a buoyant global
backdrop. By contrast, from the second quarter onwards, this dynamic
was somewhat checked. First, standardisation of US monetary policy
along with the marked appreciation of the dollar, led many emerging
central banks to bring an end to their monetary easing policy, and even
raise their interest rates, including among the central banks of Asian
countries which had, until now, been relatively spared. Second, emerging
markets
continued
to
struggle,
weakened
by
the
increase
in
geopolitical/international risks and idiosyncratic risks which turned into
real crises (Turkey, Argentina, etc.). Lastly, the trade war between the
USA and China impacted emerging economies in many respects: i) it
limited growth of world trade and therefore real growth and ii) it raised
the level of uncertainty and risk aversion on the financial markets,
toughening the conditions of financing in emerging countries. And
finally, the global growth of emerging countries in 2018 should be close
to 5% as an annual average, i.e. slightly higher than 2017 (4.8%).
However, this is a baseline effect linked to the recovery of growth in
India, most emerging economies and more specifically in Asia, having
slowed.
Interest rate markets
Interest rate markets were marked by a drop in long rates on sovereign
bonds. US 10-year rates ended the year at 2.6%, after having reached a
high point of 3.26% in early November. At the end of December, the
German 10-year rate fell below 0.2%, i.e. a level below that seen in early
2018. In addition, the market very broadly revised in a downward
direction expectations of interest rate rises for the Fed and the ECB. The
market is now even anticipating a drop in US interest rates in 2020. This
appetite for risk-free assets can be explained by investors' fears regarding
the solidity of the global economy in an environment where the major
central banks are gradually withdrawing their measures of support. In
fact, the major central banks - at different speeds - are standardising their
monetary policy. The Fed has already initiated the reduction of the size of
its balance sheet and the ECB ended its asset purchase programme in
December.
Equity markets
The MSCI AC was down -11.2% in local currencies and -6.7% in euros.
This was, globally, a year which experienced a widespread and
significant downturn on equity markets. In local currencies, the USA was
down -6.3%, the eurozone -14.7%, Europe -13.1%, emerging markets -
12.3% and Japan 16.8%. The year can be split into four periods. January
was positive in the wake of 2017; the downturn took it to the end of
March, the rise in US long rates generating a first upturn, especially as, at
the end of March, the intention of the White House to remedy the
bilateral imbalances in the balance of trade, began to have an impact.
There then followed a period of divergence between the USA, buoyed by
the most prominent technology securities. The downturn even accelerated

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key risks regarding the
Issuer:
Amundi is exposed to certain risk factors that may affect its capacity to
fulfil its obligations under the Securities. These risk factors related to
Amundi, its operations and its industry include, without limitation:
-
risks borne by Amundi for its own account:
Changes in the value of the financial assets held by Amundi could

affect its results and its equity and could increase the volatility of
its earnings;

Amundi is subject to credit and counterparty risks related to its
guaranteed funds and structured funds which are partially or fully
guaranteed or have guaranteed performance returns;
Amundi is subject to credit and counterparty risks related to the

issuance of structured notes which principal and/or interest
payments are indexed to the performance of different underlyings
(equities, indices, funds, …);

Amundi is subject to risks related to the use of derivatives.
Although Amundi systematically covers its exposure to market
risk with respect to the performance guaranteed to the investors in
equities
and
structured
notes,
by
entering
into
derivative
transactions with internationally recognised financial institutions,
Amundi remains exposed to the insolvency risk if the financial
institutions were to default, to liquidity risk and market fluctuation
risk;

Amundi is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates.
-
regulatory and legal risks :

Amundi is subject to extensive and pervasive regulation relating
to banking regulations and to asset management. A variety of
regulatory and supervision regimes apply to Amundi in France
and in each of the countries in which it operates.

Amundi is regulated as credit institution and thus is subject to
regulation by bank supervisory authorities.

Amundi may be subject to tax risks. More generally, any failure to
comply with the tax laws or regulations of the countries in which
Amundi companies are located or operated may result in
reassessments, late payments interests, fines and penalties.
Furthermore, tax laws and regulations may change and there may
be changes in their interpretation and application by the relevant
authorities;

New tax reporting requirements resulting from the global fight
against
tax
evasion
will
subject
Amundi
to
additional
administrative burden;

New tax legislation, in particular the proposed European financial
transactions tax, could have a material effect on Amundi's
business;
-
risk related to Amundi's organizational structure

Amundi's operations and strategy are subject to the influence of
its principal shareholder Crédit Agricole S.A, and

Amundi has significant commercial relationships with it principal
shareholder and its group.
-
As a French credit institution (établissement de crédit), Amundi must
comply with the provisions of Directive 2014/59/EU providing for the
establishment of an EU-wide framework for the recovery and
resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (the BRRD) as
implemented under French Law. The impact of the BRRD and its
implementing provisions on credit institutions, including Amundi, is
still partially unclear but its current and future application or the taking
of any action under it could materially affect the value of any
Securities issued by Amundi and the ability of the Issuer to satisfy its
obligations under the Securities.
D.3 Key risks regarding the Together with the risks relating to the Issuer (including the risk of default),
Securities: which could affect the capacity of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under
the Securities, certain factors are material for the purpose of assessing the
risks associated with the Securities issued. They include in particular risk
factors related to:

liquidity/trading of the Securities on the secondary market
The Securities may not have a trading market when issued. It
cannot be guaranteed that an active market for the Securities will
develop or that there will always be liquidity on such market
should it develop. Consequently, Holders may not be able to sell
their Securities before the Maturity Date.

the market value of the Securities
The market value of the Securities can be affected by a number of
factors, including but not limited to, the value of the Underlying
Reference (for the Underlying Reference Linked Securities), the
period remaining until maturity and volatility and these factors
mean that the market value of the Securities may be lower than
the Final Redemption Amount.

exchange rates
currency other than the issue currency of the Securities incur a
risk related to currency conversion.

the specific features and structure of a particular issue of
Securities and particularly where barrier characteristics apply in
relation to Securities with a barrier of the relevant underlying
reference in the calculation of redemption amount;

the exposure, nature and characteristics of the Underlying
Reference
An investment in Underlying Reference Linked Securities may
entail significant risks that are not incurred by an investment in
vanilla debt securities. Risk factors related to Underlying
Reference Linked Securities. Securities include exposure to a
share. Such a Security may involve similar or higher risk
(particularly where there is a leverage effect) when compared with
a direct investment in the Underlying Reference.
The Underlying Reference entails its own risks and exposes the
Holder to a partial or total loss of their investment. The
redemption amount of such a Security will depend on the
performance of the Underlying Reference and the occurrence of
an event capable of affecting such Underlying Reference

Physical Settlement Share Linked Securities involve specific risks
linked to the occurrence of a Settlement Disruption Event.

the law and taxation regime applicable to the Securities
The Securities are governed by French law in force at the date of
the Base Prospectus. No assurances can be given regarding the
consequences of a judicial ruling or a change to legislation or its
subsequent interpretation as at the date of the Base Prospectus.
Purchasers and potential sellers of Securities should be aware that
they may have to pay taxes or documentary charges or duties in
accordance with the laws and practices of the jurisdiction into
which the Securities are transferred or other jurisdictions. A
withholding tax may be applied with respect to certain types of
Securities (notably in relation to the U.S. Hiring Incentives to
Restore Employment Act which imposes a 30% withholding tax if
certain conditions are met).

French law on insolvency procedures
In accordance with French law on insolvency procedures, bond
holding creditors are automatically grouped into a single group of
creditors to protect their common interests should a safeguarding
procedure (procédure de sauvegarde), an accelerated safeguarding
procedure (procédure de sauvegarde accélérée), an accelerated
financial safeguarding procedure (procédure de sauvegarde
financière accélérée) or administration proceedings (procédure de
redressement judiciaire) be brought in France, against the Issuer.

changes to the Terms and Conditions of the Securities
Holders not present and unrepresented at a General Meeting
voting on changes to the Securities, may find themselves bound
by the vote of present or represented Holders even if they disagree
with this vote.

potential conflicts of interest between the Issuer, the Calculation
Agent and Holders.
The Calculation Agent being a subsidiary company of the Issuer,
potential conflicts of interest between Amundi and the Calculation
Agent affecting the Holders cannot be ruled out. Although the
Calculation Agent is required to fulfil its duties in good faith in
exercising reasonable judgement, potential conflicts of interests
may arise between the Holders and the Calculation Agent,
including
with
respect
to
certain
determinations
that
the
Calculation Agent may do, upon the occurrence of certain events
such as a case of market disruption or disturbance. Furthermore
potential conflicts of interest may arise because of Amundi
Finance's role as Arranger, Dealer and/or Calculation Agent of
the Securities.

The Benchmark Regulation could result in an adjustment to the
terms and conditions of the Securities, early settlement, valuation
by the Calculation Agent, delisting or other consequences,
depending on the specific provisions of the relevant terms and
conditions applicable to the Securities.

The Securities may not be a suitable investment for all investors.
In certain circumstances, the Holders of Securities could lose all or a
significant part of their investment of principal or of their investment in
general.
