Hello Everyone! It was an event-packed week with lots of activities in the Financial market. We witnessed a decline in the stop-rate at the auction as well as the secondary market. We also witnessed cautious trading in the bonds market in anticipation of the Q1 2024 Bond issuance Calendar. Watch my interview at the CNBC Closing bell program where we discussed summary of events this week. #TOEway #ubagroup #ubatribe #Africa #fixedincome #cnbc #cnbcafrica #cnbcclosingbell #africasglobalbank #nigeriabusiness #financialmarkets

🇫🇷 France is attractive 🇪🇺Europe is attractive Cecile Ratcliffe joined a panel with Paris Europlace Banque de France on Europe’s Financial Sovereignty conference organized by TNP Consultants and was clear on Citi’s ambitions for France and Europe. Every day we experience the strength of the single market, the competitiveness, the innovative mindset… But there is room to improve the attractiveness by finalizing the Captial Markets Union, deeping the Banking Union. With nearly 120 years in France, and across the continent, a presence in 20 and active in all 27 member countries, Citi is the most European of all American banks. 👉 And we strongly believe Europe should strive to remain an attractive place for all businesses.

The Canadian financial sector is undergoing unprecedented change to adopt new technologies and service models to provide innovative and flexible solutions to Canadian households and businesses.     FINTRAC joined other financial regulators and senior industry leaders to explore how we can jointly navigate future risks that are attendant to these innovations – be they consumer protections and insurance, industry robustness to prudential shocks and operational risk or, in the case of illicit finance, wider safety and security threats. As business and consumers push for the benefits of Open Banking and payments modernization, FINTRAC will continue to up our game to identify and respond to areas of greatest risk. We are improving our analytical systems, building in feedback loops to industry and coordinating efforts across fellow regulators to move us closer to the model of FINTRAC in Real Time. Let me share a concrete big step forward. Finance Canada recently tabled legislation in Parliament that will authorize private to private information sharing to counter money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions evasion. This will be a game changer for FINTRAC, law enforcement, industry and Canada as a whole – and its tabling reflects exactly the type of solution-oriented dialogue that we had yesterday among regulators and industry. Sincere thanks to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada | Agence de la consommation en matière financière du Canada for convening, to Anthony Ostler for moderating so thoughtfully and to my fellow panelists Frank Lofranco ICD.D, Tolga Yalkin, Christa Walker, Ron Morrow and Grahame Johnson for your collegiality and insights throughout the afternoon.

It was great to spend the day in Lugano last week and welcome clients to our inaugural co-hosted lunch event with Nuveen. We discussed the outlook for the European high-yield and US senior loans market. Despite tight spreads, we believe the all-in yields on offer from these segments continues to look attractive (absent a major event that could impact all risk markets).

The signing of the agreement to include Danish krone payments in the Eurosystem's TARGET services underscores the growing importance of instant payment systems in integrating global economies. Led by Danmarks Nationalbank Governor Christian Kettel Thomsen and Christine Lagarde this initiative not only benefits citizens beyond the euro area but also strengthens the integration of the European financial system. The ability to conduct transactions quickly and efficiently is crucial for promoting global economic connectivity and driving international trade. This step is further evidence of the vital role instant payment systems play in building a more interconnected and efficient global economy. #InstantPayments #GlobalEconomicIntegration #TARGET #Eurosystem
