What is going on at Citi…

It is clear the bank has been struggling with capital returns (RoTCE) for years.

Consequently, a newly introduced capital committee has prevented any additional balance sheet commitment without near C-suite banking leads vetting its economics.

Without an IB fee, nearly every deal is lined up for rejection, given Citi cannot price like a Wells or a European Asset holder…

Is this sustainable? Headcount? Citi’s loan book will dry up if this proceeds.

Thoughts.
