Scotland lives to fight another day. Well done, team! #Euro2020

As one of the few female CEOs of a major institution, I know firsthand that there is still a long road ahead to reach gender equality. And that work needs to continue. That said, in my role, I also have the privilege of hearing incredible stories of progress that women are making in all corners of the world. And that should be celebrated – today and every day.
 
I’d like to applaud the women who work tirelessly to move their communities forward.
 
In honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, please take a moment to recognize the powerful, tenacious women in your life. And thank the allies who have played an important role in their success. #IWD2024 #WomensHistoryMonth

Today was an important day for Citi, our investors and our path forward to greater returns. We showcased one of the most exciting parts of our bank – our Services business – and demonstrated why we refer to it as our “crown jewel”. It is the reason we call Citi the world’s most global bank. The business serves 19,000 clients around the world, including 85% of the Fortune 500. Our network enables us to do business in nearly 180 different markets and move nearly $5 trillion for clients every single day – more than the GDP of Germany.
 
Over the course of our Services Investor Day, Shahmir Khaliq and his team lifted the hood on this remarkable business, showing what we do, who we serve and how we will continue to gain share – even after last year’s record performance. We have a relentless drive to deliver. Our vision is clear. The strategy is set. The pieces are in place.

Today we pay tribute to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a pioneer for gender equity, a champion of justice and a true icon. She dedicated her life to pursuing progress and paved the way for all of us. Let’s all remember and honor her legacy which will live on for future generations to come.

What a pleasure to visit our teams and meet with clients in Japan and Singapore this week as we celebrate Citi's 120th anniversary in six markets in APAC. While some parts of the region still face significant challenges from the pandemic, many markets are moving through the recovery and reclaiming a sense of normalcy. I still feel the energy from having 1,100 people at our Singapore Town Hall—friends seeing each other in person for the first time in two years—and having nearly 400 clients at our celebration in Tokyo.

APAC is a critical part of Citi’s go-forward strategy and our efforts to deliver for clients. Singapore is one of our key wealth hubs, and we have the largest network of Japan Desks of any foreign bank. Amidst extreme disruption and complex macroeconomic dynamics, Asia embodies Citi’s core strength in being able to leverage our global network and expertise to help clients solve their toughest challenges and connect them to the rest of the world, and vice versa. Whether it’s helping clients manage their risks from geopolitical tensions, digitize their business, or expand overseas, we have the ability to connect and do business in 160 countries.
