The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and American International Group Inc. have many similarities and differences. They both are publicly traded company that survived the 2008 real estate crisis and received governmental bailouts. But Goldman Sachs received great benefits from the bailouts than AIG. Goldman Sachs received $12.9 billion of AIG’s bailouts and a credit line of $85 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York due to AIG’s and Goldman Sachs’ complex and substantial financial relationships. This relationship, fueled by the mortgage bets by Goldman Sachs, nearly felled AIG. Both companies are currently focusing on recovering and redirecting their investments in emerging markets overseas.
