Fiat Chrysler close to green light for $7.1 billion state-backed loan
Fiat Chrysler (FCA) is very close to obtaining the necessary authorisations to receive a 6.3 billion euros ($7.1 billion) state-backed loan from Intesa Sanpaolo, an executive at the bank said on Tuesday.
FCA's Italian division has tapped Rome's Covid-19 emergency financing scheme to secure a state-backed, three-year facility to support the group's operations in the country as well as Italy's car sector, in which about 10,000 businesses operate.
