Citigroup, then nation’s third-largest bank, and Bank of America, No. 1 by assets, have each received $45 billion in federal bailout money.
Government Ownership
Citigroup is in discussions with U.S. officials about an increase in the government’s ownership, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier today, citing people familiar with the situation. The government may end up owning as much as 40 percent of Citigroup’s common stock, while the bank’s executives would prefer the stake to be closer to 25 percent, the Journal said. Citigroup spokesman Jon Diat declined to comment.
