刚刚想搵 AIA 买份保险。今天又爆新闻 AIG 搵 AIA 过桥，让 AIA 给美国政府。AIA 身为 AIG 母公司的赚钱奶牛，原本以为无死，点知现在搞到甘样呢。我份保险单仲应唔应该搵 AIA 买呢？
To further ease A.I.G.'s debt burden, instead of paying back $38 billion in cash with interest that it has used from a federal credit line, government will convert that into equity in two of the insurer’s subsidiaries in Asia — American International Assurance and the American Life Insurance Company.
Both units are performing well. This would give the government direct ownership in those subsidiaries and provide saleable assets to American taxpayers even if the A.I.G. holding company were to default on its loans.
The government stake in American International Assurance will probably be controversial. The unit had been put up for sale recently, without success. That suggests that the government is giving A.I.G. better terms than private investors were willing to give, exposing the government to further accusations that it is providing a handout to A.I.G.
