Cash-stripped GM to sell its stake in Suzuki

GM’s financial condition is no secret, and with so little left in the kitty the automaker is working hard to raise finances. While the now-not-so Big 3 wait for a $25 billion federal aid that may take some time to come, if it does at all, there is a need for immediate finance. GM is gearing up to sell its remaining three percent stake in Suzuki motors to generate $230million. The automaker sold 17% stake in the Japanese company in 2006 for funds, and is now looking up to the same option again.
