December 2024
Hello everyone,
Here we are, 2024 is already coming to an end! Some will say that's a good thing, while others would have liked it to last 13 months...
Let's face it, it's been a year of catching up, of ups and downs.
On the good news front, interest rates have given borrowers a bit of breathing space, and the markets have regained their momentum. At last! The economic year is well summarized in this 2024 review,
which you can listen to here (in French only).
On a lighter note, Google has revealed its
2024 search rankings. The most frequent queries were the American elections, heat waves and the Olympics.
"Brain rot" also appeared this year. (
Here is the article for those curious to know what it is.)
In closing, we'd like to wish you and your family and friends a very happy holiday season. May this festive season bring happiness and relaxation to all.
Thank you again for your confidence!
Francis, Michael, Hossein, Jean-Marc, Kristopher and Stéphane
