ALSTOM: French govt would study a colution implying EDF...(Le Nouvel Obs)
ALSTOM /EDF story:
State to sell 6bn€ of EDF, 3bn useed to recapitalise Alstom, 3bn to buy the Bouygues stake
Gov has 84% stake in EDF so if they place part of the stake via a ABB it could pave the way for the goverment to get involved in the deal and avoid it falling into foreigner hands (GE or SIEMENS)..
Apparently this is Hollande's favourtie scenario.. and the article mentions the EDF CEO is close to the Alstom CEO and this could be a good opportunity for the EDF CEO to show his patriotism...
