BARCELONA, March 2 (Reuters) - The global car market is on course to achieve growth this year of 2 percent, Renault-Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn told Reuters on Monday, confirming an earlier estimate.
"I think for 2015, we said the market is going to be in a moderate growth - 2 percent," Ghosn said in an interview on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
"We didn't change our opinion: We have some good news, we have some bad news, but they all compensate each other so we are still on a trend of 2 percent," he said referring to the company as a whole.
Even though growth in Asia is expected to help offset a sharp fall in Russia, that rate would mark a slowdown from 2014 when the global car market saw growth of about 3.5 percent. (Reporting by Eric Auchard and Leila Abboud; writing by Leigh Thomas)
