Trading in the shares of troubled financial services group Fortis was expected to resume in Amsterdam and Brussels this afternoon, following a statement from the holding company giving more details about the remaining assets of the Belgian-Dutch financial group.

Trading was suspended on Monday after most of the group was taken over or nationalised.
Analysts quoted by the media expect Fortis’ share price to slump by 30% to 40% when trading resumes, from its closing level of €5.41 on Friday.
