Citi launches new China desk in Singapore

It aims to serve as a gateway to ASEAN.

Citi has announced the launching of its Singapore-based desk, which will serve as an expansion of its China Desk global network.

According to a press release, Citi will use the said desk as a launch-pad to increase their presence in ASEAN. On a year on year basis, China’s FDI into Asean rose from $6.5b in 2015 to $9b in 2016.

The new desk in Singapore comprises 10 relationship and product managers. These specialists are equipped to provide Chinese clients the full suite of banking solutions such as in the areas of cash management, trade financing, hedging, FX solutions, and advisory services related to mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity offerings, and the understanding of local operating and regulatory environments as they grow their presence in new markets across the region.

Citi’s first China desk in Singapore was launched in 2010.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
