Citigroup eyes China brokerage licence approval, plans to double staff to 100

Citigroup is expected to receive Chinese regulatory approval for its fully owned mainland brokerage as early as this month, Reuters reported.

The bank plans to expand the unit's workforce to around 100 employees by year-end, roughly double current levels, according to sources. Recruitment will cover senior revenue-generating roles and operational positions through relocations and external hiring. The brokerage will seek permission for A-share trading, underwriting, research and principal trading. It aims to leverage Citi's existing mainland corporate relationships for equity and M&A work, focusing on technology, healthcare, consumer and financial sectors. Citi declined to comment on the application.
