Paris, 13 February 2019

Amundi’s Board of Directors, chaired by Xavier Musca, convened on 12 February 2019 to approve the financial statements for 2018.

Commenting on the figures, Yves Perrier, CEO, said:

“Despite an unfavourable market environment, Amundi's results increased sharply once again in 2018. There are two factors behind this improvement. First, business momentum remained strong, despite the market context, and benefited from Amundi’s significant international presence, particularly in Asia. Second, the Pioneer integration has been a success, and the acquisition has significantly strengthened Amundi's business model; the integration was executed quickly and competently, and therefore the total amount of synergies has been increased to €175m per year ”.
