AIG currently owes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York about $27 billion, including accrued interest and fees. Last month it tapped some of this money to help repay $2.3 billion in commercial paper that matured. The New York Fed also owns $25 billion worth of equity in the two life insurance businesses that AIG has agreed to sell to repay taxpayers. The government-controlled insurance giant has also drawn about $49 billion in funds from the U.S. Treasury.
AIG swung to a first-quarter profit of $1.45 billion.
