En nave chosen the Asian sector to Aviva insurance company instead to the European sector because of the ongoing Euro-Crisis which poses as a major threat for its growth due to the economic downturn. As the insurance sector of Aviva works though their multi-distribution insurance franchise, then again the insurance business of Aviva will be affected by the Euro crisis, as Aviva uses the bank sales channel in order to sell their insurance products.
And many banks in Europe are already under debt due to the “hole economic downturn happening in Europe moreover most of the European countries are witnessing European credit crisis and are yet to bring about solutions for it and also it would take a long time for them to get over their current crisis. Therefore Asian sector of Aviva insurance company is all the more favorable to vest in.
