Citi Announces Increasing the Waterfall Cap and Pricing Terms of Offers to Purchase Three Series of Outstanding Citigroup Inc. Notes
May 6, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced offers, which commenced on April 22, 2026, to purchase for cash the three series of Citigroup notes set forth in the table below (collectively, the “Notes” and each a “series” of Notes), using a “waterfall” methodology under which CGMI will accept Notes in the order of their respective Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table below, subject to a $1,285,000,000 amended cap on the aggregate Total Consideration (as defined below) and Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the offer to purchase, dated April 22, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase,” as may be amended or supplemented from time to time) that CGMI will be obligated to pay (the “Waterfall Cap”). Each offer to purchase a series of Notes is referred to as an “Offer” and all such offers are referred to collectively as the “Offers.” In connection therewith, CGMI further announced that it is amending the Offers to increase the Waterfall Cap from the previously announced amount of $1,250,000,000 to $1,285,000,000. Except for the increase in the Waterfall Cap as described in this press release, no other terms of the Offers have changed. The Notes had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of approximately $4,750,000,000 as of April 21, 2026.

| (1) | Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase |
| (2) | The Total Consideration includes the early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. |
The Offers are being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase which sets forth in more detail the terms and conditions of the Offers. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026 (the “Withdrawal Date”) having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (as shown in the table above, with 1 being the highest) will be accepted for purchase before any tendered Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 3 being the lowest). Because the aggregate principal amount of validly tendered Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 3 would cause the amended Waterfall Cap to be exceeded, such Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis up to the amended Waterfall Cap, using a proration factor of approximately 19.7% ($146,852,000 aggregate principal amount to be accepted). All Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 3 not accepted for purchase as a result of proration will be rejected from the Offers and returned to the tendering holder.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders of Notes who validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026 (the “Early Tender Date”) and did not validly withdraw their Notes before the Withdrawal Date and whose Notes were accepted for purchase shall be entitled to receive the total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes calculated in the manner set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Total Consideration”). The Reference Yields listed in the table above were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2026 (the “Reference Yield Determination Date”). The Total Consideration includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”).
CGMI’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in CGMI’s discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.
Payment for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Date is expected to be May 11, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Withdrawal Date for the Offers has now passed. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by CGMI).
Although the Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), because holders of Notes subject to the Offers validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes before the Withdrawal Date for which the aggregate principal amounts exceeded the amended Waterfall Cap, holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.
Global Bondholder Services Corporation has been retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the Notes.
For additional information regarding the terms of the Offers, please contact CGMI at either (800) 558-3745 (toll free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect). Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase and questions regarding the tender of Notes may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (855) 654-2014 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).
None of CGMI, CGMI’s board of directors, Citigroup, Citigroup’s board of directors, the depositary or the information agent makes any recommendation as to whether any holder of the Notes should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the Notes, and is not a solicitation for acceptance of any of the Offers. CGMI is making the Offers only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase. The Offers are not being made to (nor will tenders of Notes be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase.

If the Offers are fully subscribed up to the Waterfall Cap as of the Early Tender Date, then any Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will not be accepted for purchase.
Irrespective of whether CGMI elects to have an Early Settlement Date, CGMI will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and that CGMI chooses to accept for purchase, subject to all conditions to the Offers having been either satisfied or waived by CGMI, promptly following the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”). Payment for purchased Notes will include accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including the Early Settlement Date or Settlement Date, as applicable.
Subject to applicable law, CGMI may increase the Waterfall Cap at any time prior to the Settlement Date.

Citigroup Tops Q1 Profit Forecasts as Dealmaking Strength Persists
April 14, 2026 8:50 AM
IH Market News
Citigroup (NYSE:C) reported first-quarter results on Tuesday that exceeded Wall Street profit expectations, supported by continued strength in dealmaking activity despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
Executives across the financial sector remain optimistic about merger and acquisition activity this year, with expectations that a more relaxed regulatory environment under Donald Trump and momentum from the AI boom will help drive transactions, even as tensions in the Middle East persist.
Global investment banking revenue rose 14% year-on-year to $28.2 billion in the first quarter, marking the strongest Q1 performance since 2021, according to Dealogic data, with North America leading the gains.
“We’re off to an exceptionally strong start in 2026, with revenue up 14% and net income growing 42%. Services had an outstanding quarter with revenue up 17%, and Markets crossed $7 billion in revenue,” Citi Chair and CEO Jane Fraser said.
Citigroup’s investment banking fees increased 19% to $1.3 billion, driven by growth in advisory services and equity capital markets activity, partly offset by a decline in debt capital markets. Advisory fees also rose 19%, reflecting strong sell-side activity and solid performance with sponsor clients, the bank said.
Net income for the first quarter of 2026 came in at $5.8 billion, or $3.06 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 billion, or $1.96 per share, in the same period last year. The result was well above analyst expectations of $2.63 per share.
The increase in profit was supported by higher earnings and a reduced share count following stock buybacks.
“We remain very much on track to deliver the 10-11% RoTCE target this year. I’m excited for next month’s Investor Day where we’ll discuss our path forward and how we will realize the significant upside Citi offers,” Fraser added.

Markets Rise on Iran Peace Hopes; Bank Earnings in Focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street Futures
April 14, 2026 4:59 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures edged higher on Tuesday, while oil prices declined, as investors reacted to signs of potential progress in efforts to end the Iran conflict. However, a continued U.S. blockade of Iranian ports into a second day has added tension, further disrupting shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, a wave of major U.S. bank earnings is set to dominate market attention, and luxury group LVMH (EU:MC) highlighted the conflict’s impact on sales.
U.S. stock futures moved modestly upward, supported by optimism around ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran aimed at securing a lasting ceasefire. Investors are also preparing for a busy earnings schedule from major financial institutions.
As of 03:17 ET, Dow futures rose by 51 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures gained 10 points, or 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 72 points, or 0.3%.
Wall Street’s main indices had already posted gains in the previous session, as initial disappointment over the lack of a breakthrough in weekend talks between the U.S. and Iran faded. U.S. President Donald Trump said the White House had been contacted by Iranian officials and expressed a desire to “make a deal,” adding that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
“[W]hile the meeting was certainly disappointing, it was hardly catastrophic, and if one looks closely, Trump seems to be pivoting aggressively away from kinetic escalation,” analysts at Vital Knowledge said.
They added that their view of the situation is “relatively sanguine,” though the “economic fallout from what’s already occurred” could be “significant.”
At the same time, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, which began Monday, has tightened constraints on oil flows already impacted by the conflict.
Tehran has condemned the move as an “act of piracy,” with reports suggesting around 15 U.S. warships are involved. British maritime authorities said access has been restricted for vessels operating near Iranian ports and across key waterways in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and parts of the Arabian Sea.
Despite these tensions, diplomatic efforts appear to be gaining traction. According to Reuters, talks between the U.S. and Iran have continued, with some progress toward a permanent ceasefire. Pakistan has offered to host further negotiations following the initial round held in Islamabad.
Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to begin direct peace talks in Washington, with ongoing strikes involving Iran-aligned Hezbollah forces remaining a key obstacle.
The prospect of diplomatic progress helped push oil prices lower, with Brent crude falling 1.5% to $97.88 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate declining 3.4% to $95.78.
However, the outlook remains uncertain. The OPEC reduced its forecast for global oil demand in the second quarter by 500,000 barrels per day in its first assessment of the Iran conflict’s impact.
Even so, the group left its full-year outlook unchanged, indicating expectations that demand could recover later in 2026.
Attention is now shifting to corporate earnings, with several major U.S. banks set to report results.
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and Citigroup (NYSE:C) are due to release quarterly figures before the U.S. market opens, followed by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) on Wednesday.
Analysts expect trading revenues and investment banking fees to support results, even as uncertainty tied to the Iran conflict persists. Earlier this month, Jamie Dimon warned that the conflict could trigger commodity price shocks, potentially sustaining inflation and pushing interest rates higher than currently anticipated.
On Monday, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) reported a 19% increase in first-quarter profit, driven by strong performance in trading and investment banking.
In Europe, shares of LVMH (EU:MC) fell in early trading after the company said the Middle East conflict had reduced group sales by at least 1%, dampening expectations for a continued recovery in the luxury sector.
The group, which owns brands such as Louis Vuitton and Bulgari, reported a 1% increase in quarterly sales, missing estimates for 1.5% growth, according to Visible Alpha data cited by Reuters.
Finance chief Cécile Cabanis said that “[w]hat we see today is still that demand is very much down” following disruptions to shopping activity in the Middle East after the outbreak of the Iran conflict.
Rival Kering (EU:KER), owner of Gucci, is scheduled to report results after the close of European markets later in the day.

Five key themes for markets in the week ahead
April 13, 2026 6:45 AM
IH Market News
Geopolitics is taking centre stage at the start of the trading week, with a planned U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz driving fresh volatility across markets. The move has pushed oil prices higher again, while upcoming inflation data and a busy earnings calendar could provide further direction for investors.
The U.S. military has confirmed it will begin restricting maritime traffic linked to Iran through the Strait of Hormuz from 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday, following an order from President Donald Trump after weekend talks with Iran failed to yield progress.
According to the Pentagon, vessels “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas” will be targeted, while other ships transiting the strait will still be permitted to pass.
The decision follows 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan that ended without an agreement to extend a fragile two-week ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Pakistan, acting as a mediator, urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”
Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in Washington this week, although continued strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets have raised doubts about the durability of any broader regional truce.
Crude prices surged again on Monday, breaking back above the $100 per barrel level.
Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.
Despite the rally, analysts at Pepperstone said the market response had been “relatively contained,” with investors interpreting the blockade largely as a negotiating tactic.
“I’d not be at all surprised to see risk assets remain underpinned to a degree, with continued hope that a deal can be agreed likely to continue to encourage dip buying, even as crude benchmarks are likely to grind steadily higher as physical supply tightens further,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.
Oil had dipped below $100 last week following the ceasefire announcement, which itself came after Trump warned Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Even so, prices have remained well above pre-conflict levels.
Rising energy costs have heightened concerns about inflation globally and how central banks may respond.
This week, attention will turn to U.S. producer price index (PPI) data for final demand, which will provide a clearer picture of price pressures in March—the first full month reflecting the impact of the Iran conflict.
Recent consumer price data already showed a sharp increase, driven largely by higher fuel costs. Energy prices jumped 12.5% year-on-year, compared with just 0.5% in February.
However, core inflation—which excludes food and energy—came in softer than expected, at 2.6% annually and 0.2% month-on-month.
Given this, analysts believe the Federal Reserve may not place excessive weight on the headline figures alone. The upcoming PPI release could offer further clues on how policymakers approach interest rates in the months ahead.
“A stronger-than-expected [PPI] reading would reinforce the case for a ‘higher for longer’ rate outlook, likely supporting the dollar and leaving EUR/USD’s recent rebound vulnerable to renewed downside,” said Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets at CMC Markets.
The U.S. earnings season gathers pace this week, led by results from major Wall Street lenders.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is set to report first, with its shares up around 3% so far this year. Trading revenues have been supported by portfolio repositioning linked to developments in artificial intelligence, while its investment banking division has also delivered growth.
However, the Iran conflict may weigh on outlooks. While volatility can boost trading income, elevated commodity prices could discourage dealmaking activity such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially affecting advisory revenues.
Other banks reporting include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).
Beyond banking, earnings are also expected from Netflix and PepsiCo.
In Europe, attention will turn to the luxury sector, where several major groups are due to report.
LVMH (EU:MC), owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is scheduled to release first-quarter sales, with geopolitical tensions likely to influence its outlook. Peers Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS) are also set to report.
According to Reuters, luxury sales in markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the conflict, weighing on the $400 billion sector.
Elsewhere, ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) will report on Wednesday, with investors watching closely for updates on its ability to meet strong demand from artificial intelligence chipmakers.

Markets edge lower as Hormuz blockade fears grow; Goldman Sachs earnings in focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street Futures
April 13, 2026 5:50 AM
IH Market News
Futures tied to major U.S. equity indices pointed slightly lower at the start of the week, as concerns over a potential U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran weighed on investor sentiment. Oil prices moved back above $100 per barrel, with markets increasingly uneasy about the durability of a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Meanwhile, earnings from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) are set to kick off the U.S. reporting season, while LVMH (EU:MC) is also due to release results.
U.S. stock futures declined on Monday as investors reacted to renewed geopolitical risks following President Donald Trump’s warning that a blockade could be imposed on the Strait of Hormuz after weekend talks with Iran failed to produce a breakthrough.
As of 03:28 ET, Dow futures were down 239 points, or 0.5%, S&P 500 futures fell 40 points, or 0.6%, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 168 points, or 0.7%. Markets in Europe and Asia also showed signs of weakness, while oil prices surged and the U.S. dollar strengthened.
Wall Street had closed mixed on Friday, with investors taking a cautious stance ahead of high-stakes negotiations in Pakistan. Although a temporary two-week ceasefire was announced last week, uncertainty remains over whether it will lead to a lasting resolution.
Investors also digested data showing a sharp increase in consumer prices in March, largely driven by rising fuel costs linked to the energy shock triggered by the conflict. Oil prices have climbed significantly since late February, when tensions with Iran escalated and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly 20% of global oil flows—was effectively disrupted.
On Sunday, Trump said the U.S. Navy would launch an “immediate” blockade of the Strait to restrict shipping activity.
He warned that any vessel paying fees imposed by Tehran would not be guaranteed “safe passage on the high seas.”
Later, the Pentagon clarified that the restrictions would target ships “entering or departing Iranian ports or coastal areas,” while allowing other vessels to continue transiting the Strait.
The escalation follows 21 hours of negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan, which ended without an agreement to extend the ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran had rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Tehran has not immediately commented, though Pakistan—acting as mediator—urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”
Crude prices surged again on Monday, reclaiming the $100 per barrel level.
Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.
Despite the sharp move, analysts at Pepperstone said the market reaction had been “relatively contained,” suggesting that traders may see the blockade as a negotiating tactic.
“While it’s clearly a risk-averse start to the trading week, […] the general market reaction can be summed up as ‘could be worse’,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.
Oil had briefly dipped below $100 last week after the ceasefire announcement, which followed Trump’s warning that Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait was not reopened. Even so, prices remained elevated compared with pre-conflict levels.
Attention now turns to earnings from major U.S. banks, beginning with Goldman Sachs’ quarterly results before the market open.
Shares of Goldman have risen about 3% so far this year, supported by strong trading activity as investors reposition portfolios amid disruption from emerging artificial intelligence technologies. Investment banking revenues have also shown resilience.
However, developments in Iran may overshadow the results. While volatility can boost trading income, sustained high commodity prices could deter companies from pursuing costly deals such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially weighing on advisory revenues.
Other major banks set to report this week include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).
LVMH (EU:MC), the world’s largest luxury goods company and owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is due to publish its first-quarter sales later today, with the Middle East conflict expected to feature prominently in its outlook.
According to Reuters, luxury sales in key regional hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the ongoing conflict, impacting companies including LVMH as well as peers like Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS).
At Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, luxury sales reportedly dropped by as much as 50% in March, while foot traffic at Dubai Mall saw a similar decline. In Abu Dhabi’s Galleria mall, overall sales were down by around 10%.
Although the Middle East represents a relatively small portion of LVMH’s total revenue, analysts cited by Reuters suggest that the impact on profitability—reported on a half-year basis—could be more significant.

U.S. bank stocks rise after Trump pauses Iran strikes
March 23, 2026 10:04 AM
IH Market News
Shares of major U.S. banks moved higher Thursday after President Donald Trump announced a five-day suspension of military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
Citigroup (NYSE:C) led the gains, rising 3%. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) each added 1.5%, while Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) advanced 2% and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) climbed 2.25%.
Trump said the U.S. military would delay additional strikes after what he described as “productive” discussions between Washington and Tehran. The announcement helped calm fears of a broader escalation in the Middle East that could disrupt global energy markets and weigh on economic stability.
Bank stocks tend to be sensitive to geopolitical developments, particularly in regions that play a key role in global oil production. Rising tensions in the Middle East often trigger volatility in oil prices, which can influence economic growth and financial markets where banks maintain significant exposure.
The decision to pause military action reduced near-term uncertainty for the financial sector, helping lift bank shares. Citigroup — which has a large international presence — showed the strongest gain among the major lenders.

Citigroup CEO Says Q1 Investment Banking Fees Tracking Mid-Teens Growth
March 10, 2026 11:46 AM
IH Market News
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser said Tuesday that the bank’s investment banking fees are on track to rise by a mid-teens percentage in the first quarter compared with the same period last year.
Speaking at an RBC conference, Fraser added that Citigroup’s markets division is also expected to post growth in the mid-teens range year over year for the quarter.
Fraser said she remains confident that the bank will achieve its goal of generating a return on tangible common equity of 10% to 11% by the end of 2026.
The CEO characterized the global economic environment as doing “just fine,” suggesting underlying economic conditions remain relatively stable.
Fraser also noted that some hedge funds have recently experienced significant losses tied to interest rate positions, though she said turmoil in the private credit market does not represent a systemic risk.
Commenting on potential regulatory changes, Fraser warned that a proposed credit card cap under a Trump administration would “crush” access to credit.

Citi Issues Inaugural Digitally Native Structured Note on Euroclear's D-FMI DLT Platform
March 9, 2026 6:02 AM

Citi has issued its first digitally native structured note on Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure platform. This transaction marks a debut of a digitally native structured note being issued on Euroclear’s D-FMI and represents the first of its kind being offered within the wealth management industry.
The digitally native structured note was issued under English Law. The issuer is Citigroup Global Markets Funding Luxembourg, reflecting Luxembourg’s supportive environment for digital financial innovation.
"This pioneering issuance marks an important step forward as we lead the first digitally native structured note on Euroclear's D-FMI. This dual milestone demonstrates our commitment to leveraging DLT to enhance efficiency, transparency, and innovation across the Markets business and wider franchise," said Bhaavit Agrawal, Global Head of Financial Institutions Structuring, Markets, at Citi.
Russell Budnick, Head of Capital Markets, Investment Solutions for Citi Wealth, said, “Issuing this digitally native structured note on Euroclear’s D-FMI platform demonstrates how we can deliver traditional structured products more efficiently by leveraging distributed ledger technology while preserving the full investment profile clients expect.

“As issuing and paying agent, we are leveraging our experience in supporting the settlement of digital issuances while actively shaping the development of digital capital markets. Our role in this transaction exemplifies Issuer Services’ commitment to connecting global issuers to new and emerging opportunities, particularly in facilitating the first structured note issuance on the D-FMI.

Citi Announces its Blueprint for Housing Opportunity Initiative — A $60 Billion Commitment to Enhance U.S. Housing Affordability and Help Create and Preserve 250,000 Units Over Five Years
February 24, 2026 1:00 PM
Business Wire
Citi Foundation will also Deploy $50 Million in Philanthropic Grants to Non-Profits Addressing Housing Challenges in their Communities
Citi today announced its Blueprint for Housing Opportunity initiative — a $60 billion five-year housing affordability commitment dedicated to increasing the supply of housing through the creation and preservation of at least 250,000 units across the U.S. In addition, the Citi Foundation will deploy $50 million in philanthropic grants to non-profits addressing housing challenges and supporting the financial health of residents in their communities, starting with a $1 million grant to support the Center for Affordable Housing Lending.
“Housing affordability is one of the defining economic challenges of our time, and increasing supply is essential to addressing it,” said Jane Fraser, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Citi. “By expanding the amount of financing we provide for affordable housing, we open possibilities for prosperity, helping more Americans secure housing they can truly afford. When people spend less on housing, they have more to invest in their families and futures.”
As the number one affordable housing lender in the U.S. for 15 consecutive years, Citi recognizes that housing is a foundational element of economic well-being and community stability.1 Citi Community Capital (CCC), which is responsible for the vast majority of Citi’s activity in this space, financed more than $32 billion in affordable multifamily housing lending over the past five years. This includes $7.6 billion in 2025, which contributed to the creation and preservation of over 35,000 units across more than 30 states.
Together, Citi and the Citi Foundation are committing to:
This commitment builds on Citi’s extensive track record of putting its capital, community impact and expertise toward improving housing affordability. It complements Citi’s financial health resources, such as affordable mortgage programs, homebuyer education, and products and services that put homebuyers on the path to strengthening credit scores and increasing savings. Citi also leverages research to inform solutions to housing affordability challenges, such as its recent analysis of the “mortgage lock-in” effect and its impact on mobility and housing supply.
"The causes for the shortage of quality, affordable housing are complicated but ultimately come down to the imbalance of supply and demand. Increasing supply is where our financial capabilities can make the greatest impact and, through this commitment, we are significantly increasing the capital we are putting to work,” said Edward Skyler, Head of Enterprise Services and Public Affairs and Chair of the Citi Foundation. “We also recognize that housing is a critical building block for financial progress. That’s why we’re also providing philanthropic support to help people access the financial tools, services and opportunities they need for economic and housing security.”
Financial capital:
Financing affordable housing can be complex. Rising construction and operating costs often create additional challenges for lenders and developers. With this commitment, Citi will apply its financial capital to help leading developers and government entities build and preserve units that are affordable to Americans.
Citi has supported affordable multifamily housing for decades by providing equity, loans for the acquisition, construction and permanent financing of multifamily housing and structuring expertise. Critical to these efforts have been Citi’s partnerships with for-profit developers, local governments, community development finance institutions and other non-profit developers, reflecting a deep commitment to strengthening communities across the country.
“Housing gets built when there’s certainty of capital, clarity of execution and partners who stay the course,” said Rafael E. Cestero, Chief Executive Officer of the Community Preservation Corporation (CPC). “That’s where market-based solutions led by institutions like Citi make a difference. As a mission-driven organization focused on leveraging capital to strengthen communities, CPC understands that with the right financial partners, developers not only can move quickly from acquisition to completion but also keep affordability front and center.”
Community impact:
Access alone does not ensure lasting housing stability — investing in residents’ overall financial resilience is a critical piece of the puzzle. For over 30 years, the Citi Foundation has worked to catalyze economic opportunity for households and communities through grants to non-profit innovators, including those addressing housing supply challenges.
Today, Citi Foundation is announcing a $1 million grant to the Center for Affordable Housing Lending, the non-profit research partner to the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders (NAAHL). This grant will help establish the Housing Supply Research & Fellowship Program to tackle challenges that are top of mind for policymakers and the housing finance community.
“Affordable housing is one of the most pressing challenges facing communities across the country. Solving this problem requires investment in research, innovation, and mission-focused solutions," said Sarah Brundage, President and CEO of NAAHL and the Center for Affordable Housing Lending. “Citi and Citi Foundation’s long track record reflects a commitment to finding tools that work and matching scale with on-the-ground expertise. Citi Foundation’s catalytic support will enable the Center to meet the moment and advance impactful affordable housing solutions.”
Expertise and advocacy:
We recognize that making housing more affordable for American families cannot be achieved by the private sector alone — successful progress toward this goal will require the public, private and non-profit sectors working together.
Policymakers across the political spectrum are focused on addressing housing affordability and increasing supply, but more action is needed. One program with significant support is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) which has successfully boosted supply of affordable housing for nearly 40 years and was recently expanded in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. While this improvement was welcomed, Citi believes there is an opportunity to help the credit go even further for American communities and families. For example, enhancing the liquidity of LIHTC to outside investors, which would encourage greater investment in affordable housing projects.
Citi remains committed to working with policymakers, relevant stakeholders and others to ensure the continued improvement of housing affordability for individuals and families across the country.
