CEO Steven Kandarian made the announcement last month. He also added that until, and unless the company gets the clarity on US capital oversight, it won\u2019t go for additional repurchases. The management is cautious about the capital management. The decision on repurchases cannot be made in uncertain times. Metlife also wants to return the capital to shareholders. It will be done as per the defined regulatory environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Buyback<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Metlife Inc (NYSE:MET)\u00a0went to buy back $1 billion of shares last month.
