Jean Dominique Senard, chairman of Reno's Board of Directors, said that the changes being made are basic. Its purpose is to keep the company in the market and ensure its long term growth. The Reno Group has 1,80,000 employees worldwide. The company has also deferred plans to increase the capacity of the plants in Morocco and Romania. The French government has a 15 percent stake in Reno and is in talks for a loan guarantee of five billion euros. Finance Minister Bruno La Myre said earlier this week that the group faces a risk of remaining in the market. Reno's other subsidiaries, Nissan and Mitsubishi, are also struggling with the epidemic. In 2018, the company struggled to recover from the developments following the arrest of former CEO Carlos Ghosn. Ghosan has been declared an international fugitive after fleeing Japan during his bail. Nissan says that it is reducing its global production by 20 percent. The company has said that it is trying to return to profit and it will close a plant in Barcelona. 3,000 people work in this plant.
