American International Group Inc. said a U.S. panel told the insurer it’s under consideration to be labeled a potential risk to the financial system, the first non-bank to report such notification in a process that could lead to tighter capital rules.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council informed AIG of its status, the New York-based insurer said today in a statementBloomberg Terminal.
