SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Citigroup Inc will wind down its consumer banking business in China in a move that will affect about 1,200 local employees, the bank said in a statement on Thursday.
The group had announced a plan in April 2021 to exit its Chinese consumer banking business as part of a global strategy to withdraw from consumer franchises in 14 markets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Mexico.
