Citibank Opens 40th Branch in India

Offers World Class Banking Service in Akola, Maharashtra

Mumbai: Citibank India, today, announced the opening of its 40th branch in India. Located in Akola, the 'Cotton Capital' of Maharashtra, the branch reinforces Citi's commitment towards fulfilling the national priority of financial inclusion and providing access to quality capital to all strata of society, especially those who have limited access to financial services.

Announcing the opening of the Akola branch, Sanjay Nayar, CEO, Citi India said, "Citi's commitment to India goes beyond business. We are committed to providing world-class financial products and services that help people improve their lives, businesses grow and communities prosper. The opening of the Akola branch, which is located in an under-banked area of the country, is a reinforcement of this commitment".

The Akola branch will be a full-service branch, where the entire range of relevant products and services - Savings Account, Term Deposits, Loans, Mortgages, Cards and Wealth Management Services - will be available to both individual and SME customers.

Speaking about the business potential in semi-urban and rural areas, Country Business Manager for Citi India's Global Consumer Group, N.

Citibank India Reports Earnings for the Year Ended March 31, 2009

Mumbai: Citibank India branch announced today it has reported total revenues of Rs. 10423 crores for the year ended March 31, 2009, representing a 24% increase from Rs. 8410 crores for the same period last year. The growth in revenues was attributable both to higher interest income as well as significant growth in fee and trading income. At March 31, 2009, the balance sheet grew by 26% from Rs. 83851 crores to Rs. 105264 crores, reflecting continuing growth in customer lending activities.

Net profit after tax was Rs. 2173 crores for the period, representing a 20% increase from Rs. 1804 crores in the same period of last year. Despite industry-wide challenges in unsecured consumer credit impacting profitability of the Retail Banking segment, the increase in net income reflected strong growth in Corporate/Commercial Banking and Treasury.

In addition to Citibank with 40 branches in 28 locations in India, Citi operates several other legal vehicles, including mainly two large non-bank finance companies, two brokerage companies and two other companies undertaking capital markets activities. All of these vehicles remained profitable during the year, with the exception of CitiFinancial Consumer Finance India Limited, which was impacted by the challenges of deterioration in unsecured credit quality that affected the entire industry and, Citi Wealth Advisors Private Limited which is yet to reach full scale of operations.

Mark T. Robinson, CEO, Citi South Asia, said: "Notwithstanding the slowdown in the local economic environment arising from unprecedented turmoil in global markets, the strong performance of Citibank India branch underscores our strengths built up over 107 years operating in India. During the year we assisted many of our corporate customers to raise capital in the local market and, by using our global product expertise, to access international capital markets. Recognising the credit quality challenges we faced in our unsecured consumer loan portfolio, we were amongst the first in the industry to take corrective action and are pleased with our progress. Having spent 6 months in the country, I am impressed with the diversity and expanse of our franchise and excited by the possibility of developing it further in line with local market needs."

The Citi India franchise continued its track record of innovation and market-leading transactions during the year:

In a nationwide survey of customers conducted by the Economic Times' Brand Equity, Citibank India was voted Best Foreign Bank Brand. Citibank India also won the Dun & Bradstreet and BusinessWorld awards for Best Foreign Bank in India. Euromoney, FinanceAsia and The Asset publications presented Citi with Best Investment Bank and Best Foreign Investment Bank in India awards. Citi Research was ranked number 1 by Institutional Investor.
