Metlife is now "too big to fail"?

If designated a SIFI, MetLife would be subjected to stricter capital, leverage and liquidity requirements as a result of supervision by the Federal Reserve Board as well as state regulators. It would join American International Group and Prudential Financial as insurance SIFIs if designated. General Electric Capital Corp. is the only other non-bank SIFI.

It doesnt seem to have much effect on the competitiveness of Pru or AG. Im sure that Met will be fine.

Although it would be interesting to see the numbers behind why they are so critical...
