American International Group is now officially regulated as one of the first two non-banks designated as systemically important.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council officially announced it designated AIG and GE Capital as systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, says Jacob Lew, Treasury secretary and FSOC chairman, in a statement late June 9.

Prudential Financial has appealed such a designation and the FSOC will hold a closed hearing within 30 days.
