C » Topics » Defaults by another large financial institution could adversely affect Citigroup and the financial markets generally.These excerpts taken from the C 10-K filed Feb 27, 2009. Defaults by another large financial institution could adversely affect Citigroup and the financial markets generally. The commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships between institutions. As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity and credit problems, losses or defaults by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as systemic risk and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges with which Citigroup interacts on a daily basis and, therefore, could adversely affect the Company.
