Jan 16 (Reuters) - Citigroup ( C/PN ) is cutting more jobs
this week to meet CEO Jane Fraser's expense goals, Bloomberg
News reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the
matter.
Managing directors in the wealth and technology units are
leaving the firm and Citi is also axing people from a team that
compiles data and analysis on the bank's clients, according to
the report.
One of the senior exits included Shadman Zafar, the
bank's Dallas-based co-chief information officer, the report
added.
Citigroup ( C/PN ) did not immediately respond to a Reuters request
for comment.
A chunk of restructuring was completed last year after
Fraser presented a plan in late 2023 to increase earnings,
streamline operations and address long-standing deficiencies in
the bank's data governance and risk management.
The bank still expects to list Banamex, its Mexican unit, on
Mexico and U.S. stock exchanges this year. However, market
conditions and regulatory hurdles might delay the stock
floatation to 2026, Fraser told analysts.
In December, the bank concluded the separation of banking
companies that was needed for the listing.
Citi's stock surged 37% in 2024, outperforming the broader
banking index and the equity markets, as
investors cheered Fraser's efforts to transform the bank.
Citigroup ( C/PN ) beat estimates for fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday,
fueled by strength in trading and dealmaking.
