TOKYO, March 8 (Reuters) -- Resona Holdings said it would buy back 881.9 billion yen ($10.7 billion) worth of preferred shares from the government, cutting back the amount it still owes the taxpayer from bailouts in the late 1990s and in 2003.
Resona, Japan's fourth largest bank, in January raised about $6.6 billion in a global share offering to help it repay the money. (Reporting by Junko Fujita; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
