American International Group currently owes the U.S. government $83.6 billion, the company said in a statement released to clear up what it characterized as "continuing confusion regarding the amount of assistance AIG has received" and what it still must repay.
AIG said its total government-authorized assistance is $182.3 billion, and its total outstanding assistance–defined by spokesman Mark Herr as the amount of authorized money that AIG has not used–is $120.7 billion.
Mr. Herr said while the $83.6 billion owed could conceivably rise if the company is forced to use more of the $120.7 billion, AIG has actually been moving in the opposite direction.
