AIG stands for American International Group. It is one of the largest insurance companies in the world. AIG was having a financial crisis and its credit rating lowered. Federal Reserve Bank of New York created a facility that AIG could take up to 85 billion dollars out of. If AIG had failed then it would have caused problems with our financial system.
