GE plans sharp reduction in new home mortgages

Published: 19 Mar 2009 17:35:23 PST

NEW YORK, March 19 - General Electric Co expects to cut its worldwide origination of home mortgages to $1 billion this year, down from $13.8 billion in 2008, said Mark Begor of GE Capital on Thursday.

The U.S. conglomerate's U.K. mortgage portfolio -- the largest slice of its mortgage business -- is under pressure, he added.

"Delinquencies are clearly pressured by a weak U.K. economy," Begor said.
