More Trouble for AIG? (Already?)

Posted by Clear Rock in Insurance MA

In yet another scary missive about the state of AIG, the New York Times writes today that AIG had already drawn down $61b of their newly minted $85b line of credit. In concert, S&P has issued yet another warning on AIG.

All this calls into question whether the Fed's emergency intervention with AIG will be the end of the bail-out, or rather somewhere around half-time.

Of interest for Agencies, of course, is how AIG has put this capital to use- namely "shoring up their structured finance unit." As AIG and regulators have said all along, it would appear that their more standard P&C business is quite healthy and well capitalized.

Which leads to AIG's plans for the future. Those plans largely include selling every business in their portfolio- outside of their U.S. P&C business and their international general insurance business.
