ANNIVERSARY
I
n 2001, our industry was KO standing, in full depression, in complete contrast to the current period. Rereading an article from that time is a perilous exercise, the fear that our statements of the time appear totally denied by the next 20 years. I can only see how much uncertainty we were then. When you are at the deep bottom of a well it is difficult to see the light of the sky! But we also showed hope for a recovery because we were convinced then that this activity was going through cycles, and that we had to adapt and hold on. Could such depression recur, and with what consequences?
I leave that question to today’s editorialists. STF Jean Devos November 2022
