France is closely monitoring developments at Renault SA, which is partially state owned, as the carmaker’s chief executive officer Carlos Ghosn faces dismissal from his posts as chairman of Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors.
“Our priority is the stability of Renault, and jobs,” Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters in Brussels on Monday after Nissan said its board would meet Thursday to decide Ghosn’s fate amid accusations of fraud at the Japanese company.
