Citi to support industry-wide relief programme

The bank also launched relief measures to support its clients.

Citi will offer clients an option to defer payments on mortgage loans and to convert unsecured balances into a low-cost term loan, according to an announcement, in view of the industry-led financial relief programme.

The initiative aims to lessen the existing debt burden of those affected by COVID-19.

The bank has also launched a series of measures to support retail, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and institutional clients, such as interest and fees waivers, tenure extensions, alternative settlement arrangements, option to restructure borrowing and trade credit facilities, extension of liquidity, and loan payment reduction.

In addition, Citi has been investing in infrastructure that will allow clients to digitise their interface with the bank.

The company expressed that it will continue to closely monitor the situation and implement further necessary relief measures.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
