Citi has achieved a remarkable feat by being named the Best International Bank and Best Investment Bank for M&A in Singapore at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025. The bank's outstanding performance was recognized across Asia and globally, securing 17 awards in the region and a record 52 global, regional, and local market awards. Among these, CEO Jane Fraser was honored with the "Banker of The Year" award, a testament to her leadership and the bank's record financial performance [2].

The Euromoney Awards for Excellence, now in its 30th edition, recognize the best in banking across key areas that are most important to a bank’s stakeholders. The awards committee praised Citi for its unique leadership style and ability to influence significant change across the bank. Citi’s recent quarters have shown impressive financial performance, with the bank making notable strides in each of its five businesses [1].

CEO Jane Fraser acknowledged the achievements, stating, "These awards are a testament to the extraordinary dedication of our colleagues around the world. Their hard work, innovation, and commitment to our clients are driving Citi forward. I’m proud of the progress we’re making against our strategy, and this recognition affirms that we’re on the right path" [2].

Citi's success extends beyond financial performance. The bank has also been recognized for its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards 2025 honored 81 champions driving Asia towards a regenerative economy, including Citi for its ESG initiatives [2].

Citi's strategy to retain talent amid fierce competition from private equity firms has also been highlighted. The bank has introduced a policy requiring incoming junior bankers to disclose any future job offers, aiming to protect against poaching and foster a fair environment [3]. This proactive measure is part of a broader trend seen across major banks, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, to retain top talent [3].

Citi's achievements at the Euromoney Awards underscore its leadership, strength, and commitment to clients worldwide. The bank's continued success reflects its ability to adapt and innovate in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.
