Bloomberg News said on the 19th (local time) that Citigroup is considering selling its retail banking business in Asia-Pacific regions including Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and Australia, citing well-known sources. Citigroup currently has 12 markets in Asia Pacific.
This review decision is analyzed to reflect the intention of the newly inaugurated Jane Fraser (pictured), Citigroup’s CEO. A spokesperson for Citigroup said in a statement that day, “As Fraser’s CEO mentioned in January, we are looking at the existing strategy soberly and thoroughly. Since the news, Citigroup shares have risen more than 3%, closing at $65.78 per share.
According to Bloomberg, Fraser has a history of selling retail banking and credit card corporations in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia while serving as head of Latin America in 2015.
