Regulatory Capital Standards Developments

        Citigroup supports the move to a new set of risk-based capital standards, published on June 26, 2004 (and subsequently amended in November 2005) by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13 countries. The international version of the Basel II framework will allow Citigroup to leverage internal risk models used to measure credit, operational, and market risk exposures to drive regulatory capital calculations.

        On December 7, 2007, the U.S. banking regulators published the rules for large banks to comply with Basel II in the U.S. These rules require Citigroup, as a large and internationally active bank, to comply with the most advanced Basel II approaches for calculating credit and operational risk capital requirements. The U.S. implementation timetable consists of a parallel calculation period under the current regulatory capital regime (Basel I) and Basel II, starting anytime between April 1, 2008 and April 1, 2010, followed by a three-year transition period, typically starting 12 months after the beginning of parallel reporting. U.S. regulators have reserved the right to change how Basel II is applied in the U.S. following a review at the end of the second year of the transitional period, and to retain the existing prompt corrective action and leverage capital requirements applicable to banking organizations in the U.S. The Company intends to implement Basel II within the timeframe required by the final rules. The Basel II (or its successor) requirements are the subject of political debate and potential change in light of recent events.

The international version of the Basel II framework will allow Citigroup to leverage internal risk models used to measure credit, operational, and market risk exposures to drive regulatory capital calculations.

        On July 20, 2007, the U.S. banking regulators announced that the implementation of Basel II in the U.S. should be technically consistent in most aspects with the international version. This should lead to the finalization of a rule for implementing the advanced approaches for computing Citigroup's risk-based capital requirements under Basel II. The U.S. implementation timetable is expected to consist of parallel calculations under the current regulatory capital regime (Basel I) and Basel II, starting January 1, 2008, and an implementation transition period, starting January 1, 2009 through year-end 2011 or possibly later. The U.S. regulators have reserved the right to change how Basel II is applied in the U.S. following a review at the end of the second year of the transitional period, and to retain the existing Prompt Corrective Action and leverage capital requirements applicable to U.S. banking organizations.

        Citigroup continues to monitor, analyze and comment on the developing capital standards in the U.S. and in countries where Citigroup has a significant presence, in order to assess their collective impact and allocate project management and funding resources accordingly.
