PARIS, July 18 (Reuters) – Euronext announced on Monday that trading in EDF shares would resume on Tuesday July 19 at 9 a.m., subject to the publication of a press release by the French state.
The quotation of EDF had been suspended following the announcements of the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, on a renationalisation of the company and after discussions with the Financial Markets Authority (AMF).
Elisabeth Borne announced on July 6 in her general policy speech in Parliament a project to renationalize 100% of EDF, in order to allow it to undertake “ambitious” projects, such as the renewal of the national nuclear fleet, while the urope is faced with soaring energy prices and the risk of shortages linked in particular to the halt in deliveries of Russian natural gas.
