The Lloyd’s of London insurance market said Wednesday that it has slashed its exposure to European government debt and pulled cash out of some of the region’s banks amid the deepening eurozone crisis.

“As a result, we’re not holding government debt of any peripheral EU country and have sought to reduce our exposure to banks in these countries.”
