History

Historical Context

The 2008 financial crisis severely impacted Citigroup, leading to a historic $45 billion bailout from the U.S. government to prevent its collapse. By 2010, Citigroup reported its first profit since 2007, aided by government support and restructuring efforts. Today, a 16% net income increase highlights Citigroup's recovery, driven by investments in technology and a shift towards digital banking strategies.
