TOKYO (Nikkei)--Allianz, Europe's largest insurer, will from Jan. 1, 2012, stop taking on new life insurance contracts in Japan and focus on managing only existing ones, the Nikkei reported in its Friday evening edition.
The de facto withdrawal plan comes at a time when the German insurance giant is struggling with a major sales slump in Japan due to the stock market downturn and low interest rates. The move is also part of ongoing efforts to streamline unprofitable operations to buffer itself against fallout from the European sovereign debt crisis.
