“I talked to GM last night and my impression is that they have not given up hope,” Joran Hagglund, state secretary at Sweden’s Industry Ministry, told Reuters.
The country had earlier effectively ruled out a state bailout of loss-making Saab after tiny luxury sportcar maker car firm Koenigsegg pulled out of a bid.
Finding a new buyer would be a race against time, Swedish Enterprise Minister Maud Olofsson acknowledged.
