Belgium government weighs sale of BNP Paribas stake, Bloomberg reports

Bloomberg reports internal pressure within the Belgian government to sell its remaining stake in BNP Paribas, a legacy of the 2008 financial crisis bailout. A sale would likely follow the completion of ongoing divestment processes, according to an anonymous source. The move signals continued state withdrawal from the financial sector, but timing and details remain unconfirmed as BNP Paribas and coalition parties declined to comment.
