PARIS: French insurer AXA said on Friday it had received the main regulatory approval for the sale of its 15.6 percent stake in China's fourth largest life insurer, Taikang Life, for $1.2 billion (0.9 billion euros). AXA said the China Insurance Regulatory Commission had approved the sale of the stake to a consortium of new and existing shareholders. "This transaction is expected to generate a positive impact of (approximately) euro 0.8 billion in net income and reduce debt gearing by one point in the first half of 2011," AXA said in a statement.
