DUBLIN, April 1 (Reuters) - Liquidators appointed to Anglo Irish Bank have sold more than 90 percent of a 21.7 billion-euro loan book, they said on Tuesday.
Nationalised Anglo Irish, renamed the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC) in 2011, was put into liquidation last year in a deal that released Dublin from a commitment to quickly pay off a 29 billion-euro debt incurred by the bank.
"The sales process for the IBRC loans, including their segmentation to meet demand from international buyers, has delivered a very positive result with over 90 percent of IBRC's loan assets now sold within 14 months of the bank's liquidation," the liquidators, KPMG, said in a statement.
