COLOMBO Nike Vapormax Black , June 13 (Xinhua) -- Global insurance giant American International Group (AIG) is closing business in Sri Lanka, the company said in a statement on Friday.

AIG was one of the 19 General insurance providers in the Sri Lankan market and its share (0.3 percent by end 2012) was insignificant.

"As AIG continues to streamline and simplify as an organization, we have been closely examining those business segments within those countries in which products and services are not meeting the needs of our customers or are not a current focus of AIG and may no longer fit into our strategic growth plans. After careful consideration and an in-depth review, we have decided to withdraw from the Sri Lanka market Nike Vapormax 2.0 ," the company said in a short statement released to media.

Employing over 64,000 people in more than 90 countries, AIG serves 98 percent of the Fortune 500 companies.
