Hitachi mulling over sale of Japanese white goods business, Nikkei reports
The deal could be worth around 100 billion yen ($679.49 million) or more, the report said.
Hitachi has reached out to multiple companies to buy its white goods business, with South Korea's Samsung Electronics being one of its potential suitors, Nikkei said.
However, the report added that Hitachi is keeping the option of retaining the business open as well due to its potential of contributing to the company's brand recognition among consumers.
Hitachi and Samsung Electronics did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment.

REUTERS/Susana Vera/File Photo LUSAKA - Zambia hopes to get an additional $145 million by extending its International Monetary Fund programme by another 12 months, its finance minister said on Tuesday. The Southern African copper-producing country has been trying to get its public finances back on track after running up a huge debt pile. It said last month that it would ask the IMF to extend its loan programme, which is due to expire in October, but did not say how much more money it was seeking. So far it has received about $1.55 billion under the $1.7 billion Extended Credit Facility. "The IMF programme gives the assurance that we are running things prudently," Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane told a press conference. "The (additional) financial support we are looking at is about $145 million," Musokotwane added. He said if Zambia were to end its IMF programme in October it would also lose some donor support that is contingent on an IMF programme being in place. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
