Worldwide, the financial crisis leaves the financial industry in turmoil Many institutions have fallen to pieces, others are still in the process of splitting the conglomerate to refund government support. Asia seems to recover faster than the Western World. New names appear on the international horizon. AIA / Prudential will be the first global insurance group to collect two thirds of its revenues from Asia. After breaking up, Fortis (to be renamed as AGEAS) became an international player in insurance with its home base in Belgium and successful partnerships in Europe and Asia.
