BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Germany's government is considering raising its stake in defence electronics maker Hensoldt HAGG.DE to 29% from 25.1%, media outlet Politico reported on Thursday, citing industry sources.

One possibility is that the government could acquire further shares from the Italian defense company Leonardo, Politico said, adding the considerations were at an early stage.
