Fortis shares resume trading at 77%

Fortis shares have not been traded since last week and started today at 11am at an all time low. Fortis stopped trading shares after BNP Paribas had bought the Belgian banking assets. Shareholders in the mean time had no power of speech and were left to themselves. Moreover, the government measures taken by the Belgian government did not result in more confidence and hence the future of the Fortis shares remains very uncertain.
