AVIVA QUARTER 3 INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Aviva reports £27 billion worldwide sales, significant balance sheet improvement and positive 2009 total profit outlook.

Reporting on the statement Liz Chettleburgh, Senior Public Affairs Manager based in Norwich said:-

‘Today's announcement is more than just a quarterly sales story but shows how the strategy that Chief Executive, Andrew Moss, put into place two years ago is delivering for Aviva. In the last quarter we have showed how we are managing Aviva for profit and have delivered on a number of strategic initiatives. Although, customers are still cautious about saving – preferring to pay down debt rather than committing to long-term saving - the improvement in financial markets, if sustained until the end of the year, means the outlook for Aviva’s total profitability at the end of 2009 is good. Today's announcement also confirms our strong capital position and a healthy balance sheet.’
