BERLIN (Reuters) – Investors including sovereign wealth funds have already expressed an interest in the German government’s block of Lufthansa shares, the Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Monday.

No decision has yet been made on a timetable or price expectations for such a sale, the newspaper reported on Monday, citing government sources.

Neither Lufthansa nor the Finance Ministry would comment when asked about the information, Handelsblatt said.

Lufthansa Group was saved from bankruptcy during the coronavirus pandemic by Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium with a financial framework of 9 billion euros.
