AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP INC

Regulatory Environment

Our operations around the world are subject to regulation by many different types of regulatory authorities, including insurance and securities in the United States and abroad. The insurance and financial services industries are generally subject to close regulatory scrutiny and supervision.

For example, on March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted its climate-related disclosure rules, which require registrants to provide detailed climate-related disclosures in registration statements and periodic reports, but the rules have been stayed pending the completion of judicial review. Other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the European Union, have adopted or are considering similar (and in some cases more stringent) climate- and sustainability-related reporting requirements, including through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. In addition, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive imposes due diligence requirements for identifying and mitigating potential environmental and human rights impacts of covered entities and their value chains, along with requirements to adopt and disclose a climate transition plan.

In the European Union, the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will require covered entities, including insurance intermediaries, reinsurance intermediaries and ancillary insurance intermediaries, other than micro-, small, or medium enterprises, to comply with a wide range of organizational and technical requirements to identify, manage and mitigate operational risk arising from use of network and information systems and, in particular, the use of third party information and communication technology service providers. Covered entities will be required to comply with DORA by January 2025.

Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business. We expect that the domestic and international regulations applicable to us and our regulated entities will continue to evolve for the foreseeable future.

For information regarding our regulation and supervision by different regulatory authorities in the United States and abroad, see Part I, Item 1. Business – Regulation and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – Regulation in the 2023 Annual Report and Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Changes in the Interest Rate Environment

Certain U.S. benchmark rates continued to fluctuate in 2024 as markets reacted to change in inflation trends, geopolitical risk and the decisions of the Board of Federal Reserve System. Our Net investment income is impacted by market interest rates as well as the deployment of asset allocation strategies to enhance yield, manage duration and interest rate risk. The change in interest rates and credit spreads impact our ability to reinvest future cash flows at rates equal or greater than the rates on sales and maturities. For additional information on our investment and asset-liability management strategies, see Investments.

Impact of Currency Volatility

Currency volatility remains acute. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British pound and the Japanese yen (the Major Currencies) impacts income for our businesses with substantial international operations. In particular, growth trends in net premiums written reported in U.S. dollars can differ significantly from those measured in original currencies. The net effect on underwriting results, however, is significantly mitigated, as both revenues and expenses are similarly affected.

These currencies may continue to fluctuate, especially as a result of central bank responses to inflation, concerns regarding future economic growth and other macroeconomic factors, and such fluctuations will affect net premiums written growth trends reported in U.S. dollars, as well as financial statement line item comparability.

General Insurance businesses are transacted in most major foreign currencies. The following table presents the average of the quarterly weighted average exchange rates of the Major Currencies, which have the most significant impact on our businesses:
