French term or phrase: la charge de risque
Si'il ya bien amelioration de la charge de risque en 1998 et degradation au cours de l'exercise 1999, ces fluctuations sont d'une ampleur moindre que ne le laissent penser le resultats financiers.

English translation:Whilst there was an improvement of the burden of risk/exposure in 1998
Explanation:
It's good to have the term in it's paragraph, but we still know nothing of the background story. My answer is "context-free"!

- Whilst there was an improvement of the burden of risk/exposure in 1998

- Although there was a decrease in the risk/exposure burden in 1998

A lot will depend on what the risk is. "Risque" may be better translated by "exposure", just as "improvement" with reference to a burden generally implies a reduction, hence "decrease". Lots of guesswork for lack of context - sorry.
