AIG board to meet on AIA's future: sources


    HONG KONG/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The board of American International Group Inc is expected to meet this week to consider the future of the insurer's Asian life business, AIA, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

    An initial public offering for American International Assurance (AIA) was the most likely way forward, the sources said, although other options were also under consideration.

    AIG declined to comment.

    The sources declined to be identified as the details were not public.

    Institutional demand for Agricultural Bank of China's roughly $20 billion IPO has helped bolster the case for AIA's Hong Kong listing, one source added.
