Amsterdam may beat London to a potential €17 billion ($18.4 billion) listing of Unilever Plc’s ice cream unit, according to the CEO of the consumer goods company.
The Netherlands has “a good chance” of hosting the division after it’s spun out of the company, Chief Executive Officer Hein Schumacher told the Buitenhof TV show on Sunday, in comments that will intensify the competition between the two cities.
