Some deputies mention the sale of Aviva France to a Bermudian buyer. What do you think ?
John Stuart Mill, a 19th century free thinker, said that "
the government of business is not the business of government
."
He was right.
The initiative of these elected officials nevertheless has the merit of highlighting a booming phenomenon in the field of insurance, the “
runoff
”, or “
liquidation
” in French.
Afer is not in favor of it.
Who would like to be “
liquidated
”?
It is never pleasant to be destined to disappear.
A model of "
run-off
", whether in Bermuda or not, is the opposite of ours.
Are there other offers for the takeover of Aviva France?
Yes, several.
Afer is a nugget that represents nearly 60 billion euros of assets under management and many fairies look at its cradle.
I have great confidence in the new CEO of Aviva Monde Plc, Amanda Blanc.
Our permanent and fruitful contacts allow me to believe that it will choose a buyer who meets the expectations of the 770,000 members of Afer.
We have had a rich and constructive relationship with Aviva for several decades.
Our adventure may not be completely over and I am confident about our future.
Tomorrow will be even better than yesterday.
What are your prospects with the future buyer?
He must be an actor who shares our convictions: respect the associative DNA of AFER, provide the best service to members and be an international partner in order to provide them with the best in the world - while respecting the French and European regulations.
It will also have to favor simple and clear governance for
rapid
decisions
.
Finally, it will have to be a dialogue partner in order to continue our development and define a complete range reconciling safety.
