Axa denies Prudential bid

French insurer Axa today formally denied in a statement that it was in takeover talks with UK insurer Prudential and said it has "no plan or intention" to enter discussions.

Last month Prudential rejected a £16.9bn (€24bn) hostile takeover offer from Aviva, another UK insurer, which subsequently dropped its bid.
