Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/30/2021 -- Investment banking developments in China & Hong Kong have expanded exponentially in recent times, as the world's second largest economy has opened up its financial markets. One of those looking to shift focus in the region is Citigroup, which has already begun to move away from retail banking in this part of the world in order to focus on investment banking. Citigroup Inc is driving ahead with plans to establish fresh investment banking and trading operations in China. When the move was first announced, a Citi insider said that the firm planned to apply for a securities licence that would enable it to write yuan-denominated shares and carry out trading for clients, as well as applying for a licence for futures brokering. While none of this has been confirmed in detail, Citi's move indicates just how much interest there is in the region today and how much investment banking developments in China & Hong Kong are likely to spike in the coming months and years.
