Citi Greece: For over 60 years, we have been paving the way for those who invest in the future of Greece.
Through our long-standing presence in Greece dating back to 1964 – the longest of any international bank – Citi has consistently played a critical role in facilitating the country’s growth and development. Throughout Citi’s history in Greece, we have been honored to receive a wide array of awards and recognitions, which are a testament to our commitment to excellence, and our tireless efforts to be the best for our clients. Among these is the ‘Best Investment Bank in Greece’ award from the Euromoney Awards for Excellence in 2021, 2019, 2017, and 2016 most recently.
Today, Citi’s Greek Institutional Clients Group platform is a leader across each of its respective markets comprising Banking, Capital Markets & Advisory, Global Markets & Securities Services, and Treasury & Trade Solutions, as well as Private Banking.
Citi has been a long-standing trusted partner to the Hellenic Republic, as well as domestic financial institutions, Greek corporates, and global subsidiaries across a range of leading roles across Advisory, Debt and Equity Capital Markets, and Credit assignments. Moreover, Citi’s Shipping franchise is among the most reputable and established names in the industry, with historic relationships and the legacy of being a cycle-through financing pioneer since the days of financing Onassis’ first mega-tanker.
Citi’s unmatched global footprint provides unique access to over 250 subsidiaries of global multi-nationals that operate in Greece and to which our Firm, through its Global Subsidiaries Group, provides a full range of banking services, including cash and liquidity management, trade finance services, as well as advanced reporting tools via a sophisticated and much awarded corporate e-banking platform.
Citi is the largest recipient of institutional investor flows for trades on the Athens Exchange. The Securities Services business has been for the past 20 years the single largest custodian in the Greek market, whereas Citigroup Global Markets Europe is the top foreign primary dealer in Greece.
Our legacy contribution in pioneering products and services in the domestic market is widely recognized. Citi has over the years introduced in the Greek market a series of innovative and sophisticated financial tools, such as Sovereign Financing and Hedging Solutions, Investment Grade and High Yield Bonds, Securitizations, Derivatives, Domestic and International Syndications, Leveraged Buyout Structures, Corporate Lease and Export Agency Finance.
We at Citi Greece thank our Clients for the privilege of their business and we affirm our commitment in enabling Greece’s steps to continuous progress.
