World's biggest insurance company may sell to pay debts

Sunday, 5 October 2008

Troubled insurance company American International Group is reportedly planning to sell some of its UK operations in a bid to repay its debt to the US Government.

AIG, the world's largest insurer, was saved from the brink of collapse by an 85 billion dollar loan from the US government last month.

The group has already put three of its Japanese life insurance companies up for sale to pay off the massive debt.

It is now thought it may sell off some of its UK operations as well.
