Aviva sells Turkey business as turnaround plan continues
(Reuters) - Aviva has agreed to sell its 40% stake in a joint venture in Turkey for 122 million pounds ($173.17 million), as chief executive Amanda Blanc continues to sell off non-core units.
The sale to Ageas Insurance International is expected to close later in 2021 and comes a day after Aviva agreed to sell its French business, as it tries to focus on its operations in Britain, Ireland and Canada.
