Citi expects revenue in Brazil to grow 50% over the next 3 years

SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Citigroup Inc expects its revenue in Brazil to grow 50% over the next three years, the chief executive of its local unit said on Tuesday, adding that demand for advisory services on mergers and acquisitions remains strong in early 2022.

Marcelo Marangon also said the lender does not expect to get back to retail banking in the South American country in coming years. Citi sold its retail business in Brazil to Itau Unibanco in 2016.
