Financial institution CITI clinches a record-breaking victory at the Euro Money Awards for Excellence 2025
In a significant recognition of its achievements, Citigroup (Citi) and its CEO, Jane Fraser, shone brightly at the 30th edition of the Euromoney Awards for Excellence, held in 2025. The awards, which span across the globe, honour institutions and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding performance in the financial sector.
The period under consideration for these awards was the 2024 calendar year. During this time, Citi, under Fraser's leadership, made a remarkable impact, transforming the bank into a simpler, more coherent institution and driving new business momentum across its global operations.
Fraser's leadership was rewarded with the prestigious "Banker of the Year" title. This honour recognises her ability to influence significant change within Citi, refocusing its business strategy towards cross-border institutional needs, international wealth management, and US personal banking. This complex transformation, considered one of the largest in the banking industry, was highlighted by Euromoney.
Citi's success was evident in the number of awards it received. The bank walked away with a record 52 global, regional, and local market awards from Euromoney, including top honours such as Best International Bank and Best Investment Bank for M&A in Singapore. The bank's strong business presence in Asia was reflected in the 17 awards it received across the region, including being named the Best International Bank in multiple markets and Asia’s Best Investment Bank for Debt Capital Markets (DCM).
In accepting the award, Fraser emphasised the crucial role of Citi’s workforce in driving this change. Notable highlights of the awards include the recognition of Fraser's exceptional leadership and Citi's record financial performance and strategic progress.

In addition, Citi was recognised as the World's Best Investment Bank for Financing and the World's Best Investment Bank for Debt Capital Markets (DCM) in the 2025 Euromoney Awards.
This level of distinction confirmed Citi’s status as a top global banking institution in 2025 and reflected Fraser’s effective stewardship amid a major organizational reshaping. The awards serve as a testament to Fraser's unique leadership style and Citi's impressive performance in the 2024 calendar year.
