Germany’s EON posts record 8.45 bln euro loss in 2016

BERLIN, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – German energy giant
EON said Wednesday that it booked a record loss of 8.45 billion euros ($9.0 billion) in 2016 after massively overvaluing its fossil fuels division which was spun-off late last year.
The previous year, EON had already run up a bottom-line loss of almost seven billion euros.
