Economic Environment

Citigroup’s financial results are closely tied to the global economic environment. The global markets are experiencing the impact of a significant U.S. and international economic downturn. This is restricting the Company’s growth opportunities both domestically and internationally. Should economic conditions not improve or further deteriorate, the Company could experience continued revenue pressure across its businesses and increased costs of credit. In addition, continuing deterioration of the U.S. or global real estate markets could adversely impact the Company’s revenues, including additional losses on subprime and other exposures, additional losses on leveraged loan commitments and cost of credit, including increased credit losses in mortgage-related and other activities. Further adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of structured credit products or other credit-related exposures, or of monoline insurers, could result in revenue reductions in those or similar securities. See “Risk Factors” on page 47 for a further discussion of these risks.

Economic Environment

As a worldwide business, Citigroup’s financial results are closely tied to the global economic environment. There is a risk of a U.S. and/or global downturn in 2008. A U.S-led economic downturn could negatively impact other markets and economies around the world and could restrict the Company’s growth opportunities internationally. Should economic conditions further deteriorate, the Company could see revenue reductions across its businesses and increased costs of credit. In addition, continuing deterioration of the U.S. or global real estate markets could adversely impact the Company’s revenues, including additional write-downs of subprime and other exposures, additional write-downs of leveraged loan commitments and cost of credit, including increased credit losses in mortgage-related and other activities. Further adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of structured credit products or other credit-related exposures, or of monoline insurers could result in revenue reductions in those or similar securities. See “Risk Factors” on page 38 for a further discussion of risks.
