Aviva International's total long-term savings new business sales grew strongly by 21% to £4,710 million (2005: £3,920 million), while life and pensions new business sales were 16% higher at £4,025 million (2005: £3,476 million). These figures reflect sales growth in most of our key markets, particularly France and Italy, and include two months sales through our new partnership with Allied Irish Banks (AIB), Ireland’s largest retail bank. Investment sales grew by 53% to £685 million (2005: £444 million), reflecting increased sales through the Navigator platforms together with the benefit from stronger investment performance.
