LONDON, March 17 (Reuters) - HSBC has entered into
final negotiations to sell its France retail bank business to
Cerberus, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
HSBC has said it is looking to dispose of the business and
Reuters previously reported Cerberus was among two
bidders remaining for the unit.
A spokeswoman for HSBC declined to comment, while Cerberus
could not immediately be reached.
