“It's important and it needs to happen as quickly as possible,” said Citi Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason, who added that massive spending from Washington has helped avert a tidal wave of delinquencies so far. “If the better outcomes happen” with a good a stimulus package, “we are over reserved by US$10 billion ,” he said.

At the same time, Citi was buffeted by a hit from lower interest rates and a US$400 million civil penalty from regulators over lax internal controls announced last week by US authorities. The company's share price fell sharply during a conference call with analysts when executives were pressed about the settlement.
