    International news Citigroup to exit 13 global consumer banking markets, including India, China

    in News Updates

    Citigroup announced on Thursday that it will exit 13 international consumer banking markets, shifting its focus to wealth management and away from retail banking in places where it is small. Citigroup will focus its global consumer banking business on four markets: Singapore, Hong Kong, London and the United Arab Emirates. But Citigroup will depart India, China, and 11 other retail markets, where "we don't have the scale we need to compete," said Citi chief executive Jane Fraser. Most of the markets being exited are in Asia, where Citigroup's global consumer banking business at the end of 2020 had $6.5 billion in revenues, 224 retail branches and $123.9 billion in deposits. The move came as Citigroup reported first-quarter profits of $7.9 billion, more than three times the level in the year-ago period. Revenues fell seven percent to $19.3 billion. As with other large banks, Citigroup's profits were bolstered by a strong performance in its investment banking and trading businesses, as well as the release of reserves set aside for bad loans. These benefits were offset somewhat by a drag from low interest rates
