BRUSSELS (Dow Jones)--The Qatar Investment Authority, the nation's sovereign wealth fund, is the leader of a consortium of investors that is set to buy Dexia SA's (DEXB.BT) Luxembourg retail banking subsidiary, a person familiar with the discussions said Thursday.
The sale is part of a plan to break up Dexia set in motion after Moody's Investors Service this week warned that the bank's heavy dependence on wholesale funding threatened its stability.
