SINGAPORE - Citi's decision to move out of its consumer business in 13 markets and focus on growing its institutional and wealth management franchise is a strategic pivot to allocate resources to businesses where it can provide the most value, said its Asia-Pacific chief executive Peter Babej.
Hong Kong-based Mr Babej told The Straits Times during a visit to Singapore last week that Asia remains front and centre of its global strategy.
