CAR maker Nissan is reportedly eyeing a £1bn loan guaranteed by the Government as it aims to turn around major financial problems.

- TOM KEIGHLEY Business writer tom.keighley@reachplc.com

The firm, which employs around 6,000 people at its Sunderland plant with thousands more in its supply chains, has been facing major challenges at a global level as it battles to raise billions for its survival.

Now financial news website Bloomberg has reported that a £1bn loan guaranteed by UK Export Finance is a part of the package the Japanese firm is pulling together, along with the potential sale of stakes it holds in other companies.

It comes as Nissan reported a £3.4bn net loss for its 2024 financial year and said it expects operating losses of up to £2.3bn in the year up to March 2026.
