Automakers Renault, Nissan to make cross-shareholdings equal at 15%

Nissan and Renault have changed their mutual cross-shareholdings equal at 15 per cent, ironing out a source of conflict in the Japan-French auto alliance. Up to now, Renault Group has held a 43.4 per cent stake in Nissan Motor Co.

But it has had its ups and downs since it began in 1999, when Renault sent one of its executives, Carlos Ghosn, to then-struggling Nissan to lead a turnaround. Ghosn first served as Nissan's chief executive and later its chairman before he was arrested in late 2018 on various financial miscond
