PARIS (Reuters) - The French government will not put off planned asset sales aimed at financing an innovation fund, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Monday.
The French media has recently raised the possibility that plans to sell down stakes in airport operator ADP (NASDAQ: ADP) and utility Engie
"I would like to point out the timetable for the asset sales will not change, we need to sell assets to finance breakthrough innovation and allow our country to stay in the race for new technologies," Le Maire said in a New Year's address to journalists.
