Citi Named "Best Global Bank" by Euromoney
Citi also wins "Best Global Emerging Markets Investment Bank" – 13 total awards
London – Citi was named "Best Global Bank" for 2015 by Euromoney, the preeminent global financial markets magazine, at its annual Awards for Excellence dinner in London.
The top award of the evening was one of 13 won by Citi, which also included the Best Global Emerging Market Investment Bank.
Euromoney said, "Citi is a much-changed, smaller, more focused institution. But it still has a truly global presence, in both consumer and wholesale banking, which competitors will struggle ever to replicate. Citi's management has taken many of the necessary steps to ensure that a global universal banking model works. Our belief is that its clients, and its shareholders, will increasingly see the benefits of its unique global franchise."
Citi also won a number of regional awards, including Best Investment Bank in Africa, Best Investment Bank in Central and Eastern Europe and Best Investment Bank in Latin America.
"By every measure, Citi has become a simpler, smaller, safer and stronger bank," said Citi CEO Michael Corbat. "I’ve said since I took over as CEO that two of my goals are that Citi become known for making smart decisions and for being an indisputably strong and stable institution. This award shows that we’re well on our way and we have begun to show what our firm can do at its best."
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence are recognized as among the most prestigious in the financial services industry.
