Senator Warren Calls for Growth Restrictions on Citigroup
Elizabeth Warren urges the OCC to impose limits on Citigroup's expansion due to persistent management and regulatory failures.
- Senator Elizabeth Warren has written to Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu, recommending growth restrictions on Citigroup.
- Warren argues that Citigroup has become 'too big to manage' and has failed to address ongoing risk management and operational issues.
- The call for action follows multiple enforcement actions and fines by regulators, including a $400 million penalty in 2020.
- Citigroup's CEO, Jane Fraser, has stated that improving risk management is a top priority, with $7.4 billion spent on related efforts between 2021 and 2023.
- The OCC has previously imposed growth caps on other banks, such as Wells Fargo, due to unresolved compliance issues.
