Germany to sell down stake in Lufthansa by end of 2023

23 August, 2021

German Finance Agency reported it plans to complete the sale of its stake in Lufthansa by 2023 (dpa/Reuters, 20-Aug-2021). A 20.01% stake in the carrier was acquired in 2020 by the country's Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF) as part of a state aid package to support the airline during the COVID-19 crisis. The WSF announced earlier in Aug-2021 that it would initially sell up to a quarter of its stake in the airline.
