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.
