U.S. Regulators Consider Removing SIFI Designation from AIG

9/21/17

U.S. regulators are considering the possible removal of federal oversight and the designation as a "systemically important financial institution" from AIG, and plan to discuss the matter at a meeting tomorrow, WSJ reports.

Removing stricter oversight of AIG would be a symbolic step: The company was at the center of the global markets meltdown in 2008 and was effectively nationalized through a ~$185B government bailout.
