US government rescues insurer AIG

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7620127.stm

 

The prospect of an AIG collapse raised concerns on trading floors.

The US Federal Reserve has announced an $85bn (£48bn) rescue package for AIG, the country's biggest insurance company, to save it from bankruptcy.

 

AIG will get an $85bn loan, in return for an 80% public stake in the firm.

 

The rescue follows the collapse of US investment giant Lehman Brothers, which caused share prices to plummet across the world's financial markets.

 

Meanwhile, Barclays said it had reached a deal to buy Lehman's US investment banking and capital markets businesses.

 

The rescue of AIG - which has a trillion dollars in assets and insures bank loans around the world - prompted a shares rally in Asia, with Japan's market up 2% in early trading.

 

The board of the Federal Reserve made the decision "with the full support of the Treasury Department", it said in a statement, adding that the secured loan included conditions designed to protect "the interests of the US government and taxpayers".

 

Emergency meeting

 

US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson refused to bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest investment bank in the US, after went bankrupt on Monday.

 

 

 

Big banks can no longer be under any illusion that they can make big, stupid financial bets and expect taxpayers to pick up the bill

Credit crunch jargon explained

 

Correspondents say the demise of AIG - which has policy holders in more than 100 countries and insures deals and investments across the globe - would have a far greater impact on financial markets than Lehman's collapse.

 

Were the company to fail, many banks and investment funds in the US and around the world would lose their insurance cover at a time when defaults on payments are likely to rise.

 

The Governor of New York, David Paterson, said AIG had so many business interests it would be hard to predict how widespread its bankruptcy would have been felt.

 

"Its tentacles go further in to the avenues of business, as in mortgages, as in credit, as in hedge funds, as in countless ways that affect consumers, that affect drivers, that affect homeowners, affect passengers," he said.

 

AIG had posted losses in each of the last nine months.

 

It was badly affected by the collapse of the US housing market, says the BBC's business reporter Rob Young, owing to the underwriting payments it was forced to make when customers defaulted on their loans.

 

Market slump

 

The AING plan calls for the government to seize up to 80% of the company and remove its management, in a similar fashion to the way it took control of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which were crippled by the US housing crisis.

 

 

The global financial community is reeling from Lehman's demise

 

The White House welcomed the package, saying the deal was made "in the interest of promoting stability in financial markets and limiting damage to the broader economy".

 

Meanwhile, the Fed has left interest rates unchanged at 2%. The BBC's Matthew Price in New York said the bank had decided an interest rate cut would not help to alleviate the short-term financial crisis.

 

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones rallied on Tuesday, closing 141 points higher having on Monday suffered its worst day's trading since the September 2001 attacks on the US.

 

But leading indices across Europe ended lower, with banking shares being the worst hit.

 

Central banks around the world responded by carrying out emergency measures to keep markets liquid.

 

The Bank Of England and the Bank of Japan injected £20bn (25bn euros; $36bn) and 2.5 trillion yen ($24.1bn; £13bn) respectively into their money markets.

 

The extra funding came as the interest rates at which banks lend to each other rocketed - as they did at the start of the credit crunch.

AIG Gets Up to $85 Billion Fed Loan; Cedes Control (Update1)

By Craig Torres and Hugh Son

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aAkvusf5Ld7M&refer=home

 

Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government agreed to lend as much as $85 billion to American International Group Inc. in exchange for a 79.9 percent stake to save the country's biggest insurer from collapse.

 

The Federal Reserve ``determined that, in current circumstances, a disorderly failure of AIG could add to already significant levels of financial market fragility and lead to substantially higher borrowing costs, reduced household wealth and materially weaker economic performance,'' the Fed said.

 

The agreement, supported by the Treasury Department, will keep New York-based AIG in business, averting a failure that could have threatened more financial companies and added to chaos in world markets. Losses industrywide could have totaled $180 billion if AIG collapsed, according to RBC Capital Markets. AIG needed the loan after its credit ratings were cut and shares plunged 79 percent since Sept. 11.

 

The two-year loan will ``assist AIG in meeting its obligations as they come due,'' the Fed said in its statement. The federal lifeline will allow AIG to sell assets in an orderly fashion rather than at distressed prices, said a person familiar with the agreement.

 

``The loan is expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the firm's assets,'' the Fed said. The U.S. government has the right to veto the payment of dividends to common and preferred shareholders.

 

AIG will replace management as part of the deal, said the person, who declined to be named because not all parts of the agreement were publicly disclosed.

 

Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance at the three-month London interbank offered rate plus 8.5 percentage points.

 

 

___________________________________________

 

With this loan from the government, I hope it will solve the financial crisis. I checked with AIA Singapore and was told that Singapore MAS has been regulating AIA and thus we're not affected by the financial turmoil in the states. If AIG declares bankrupt and closes down, AIA will legally also have to seize operations and close down. They will liquidate their assets and return the money due to the policy holders. To what I was told, they have more than enough to repay back. Even our AIG insurance for our vehicles are also not exposed to this financial peril. Excellent job done by our MAS.

 

Hence, panic selling will not get us anywhere.

 

AIG is a branded insurance giant. When it is at rock bottom, price plummet, it will be a great time for opportunistic investers to buy it. Just like Merril Lynch bought by an opportunistic investor which was sold by Temasek, the former made this brilliant move to buy by an increase of merely $5 per share even during the bad times. Temasek was lucky.
