PARIS, April 7 (Reuters) - Franco-Belgian retail bank Dexia said on Thursday it had received several offers to buy its Dexia Israel unit and had hired a bank to review these offers.
'Dexia confirms having received several offers for its unit in Israel and given a bank a mandate to look at these offers,' a Dexia spokesman said.
He was reacting to a report by French website Wansquare that Dexia had mandated Rothschild & Cie to sell its 66 percent stake in Dexia Israel.
