Important that Total stays listed in France, minister Le Maire says

It is important that TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA) remains listed in France, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Thursday in an interview with French radio BFM/RM. "I think it's a serious decision. It's important to keep Total in France", he said.

The French oil major is "seriously" looking at a possible listing in New York, Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne told analysts last month, to move closer to a majority of U.S.-based shareholders.
