Citigroup builds on diversity in CEEMEA

Citigroup’s CEEMEA banks have executed a number of successful transactions in recent years, including several for Polish telecom TPSA. The bank is well positioned in the increasingly important area of Islamic finance. The one area where Citigroup’s CEEMEA banks seek improvement is in the equity markets. Shirish Apte, chief executive for CEEMEA, Citigroup, speaks with Sudip Roy about their plans for the future.

Arguably Citigroup’s most diverse region, CEEMEA encompasses central and eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Turkey.
