Sep 14 (Reuters) – The German government may increase its stake in gas importer Uniper SE (UN01.DE) above 50%, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report says the German gas importer needs more help from the state after it has already benefited from a support package that could cost up to 20 billion euros. (https://bloom.bg/3Dqoyg8)
Neither Uniper nor the German Ministry of Economy commented on the report.
