Citigroup Inc. on Friday said it is cutting jobs in its corporate and investment bank to save money, and a person familiar with the decision said more than 1,000 positions may be lost.

The cuts will affect about 2 percent to 3 percent of the unit’s 48,000 employees worldwide, and are expected at all levels of the unit, the person said. New York-based Citigroup is the world’s largest financial services company.


Chief Executive Charles Prince is trying to cut expenses and exit businesses not focused on consumer or corporate banking, after a year when costs rose by one-third. He is moving away from predecessor and mentor Sanford “Sandy” Weill’s vision of creating a one-stop financial supermarket.
