Criza generata de AIG este poate doar varful unui iceberg care arata fragilitatea sistemului de asigurari
When insurance giant American International Group Inc. imploded last fall, the firm’s problems were quickly blamed not on its core insurance business but on an obscure operation that traded exotic mortgage securities.
But as the economic crisis deepens, it has become clear that AIG’s problems extend across most of its business lines, including its massive life insurance and retirement services operations, which reported a staggering $18-billion quarterly loss this month.
The company’s situation is emblematic of problems across the life insurance industry, which is suffering deep losses on investments that underlie policies for millions of American families.
So far, some of the biggest companies have suffered sharp drops in their stock prices, and many of them are asking for federal assistance.
Industry conditions last year were the worst in memory and are expected to grow deeper this year amid credit rating downgrades, declining revenue and investment losses, according to credit rating firm A.M. Best Co.
The worst-case scenario is that a second financial crisis is looming if these life insurance companies come under too much stress.

“Prea multul stres” sub care sunt aceste companii trebuie cautat in buzunarul celor ce le controleaza si conduc!

Pentru mai buna informare a noastra,cred ca ar trebui sa primim si comentarii in limba chineza,in original!
Si aceste articole luate din presa straina in original arata de fapt gradul de degradare la care a ajuns societatea romaneasca. Daca noi nu tinem la ceea ce e al nostru ( in acest caz limba),atunci de ce ne miram ca suntem desconsiderati de alte popoare?

Pe cand noi articole in alte limbi de circulatie universala: hindi, hebrew, persana veche si dialectul bantu?
