Awards for Excellence 2011

Best Global emerging markets bank: Citi

Also nominated: HSBC and Standard Chartered

But the numbers always told a different story: over 50% of its earnings came from the US and western Europe. Now that balance is changing – and what that means should not be underestimated.

In the 12 months to the end of March, 65% of Citi’s earnings before taxes came from the emerging markets, compared with 44% a year ago.
