The French government is not planning to sell its shareholding in French telco Orange [EPA: ORA] in the short term, French daily L’Agefi reported. The comments were made by Martin Vial, commissioner for the French State’s participations, replying to recent rumours doing the rounds.
An earlier report from French daily Les Echos claimed that the French government was considering selling shares in listed French companies, including Orange, in which it directly owns a 13.4% shareholding valued at EUR 5.2bn.
