    SINGAPORE is set to rise in importance for Citi in the region as the banking giant exits its consumer business in several markets across Asia.

    With the city-state now one of four wealth hubs for the bank, Citi will hire up to 1,500 staff for its consumer wealth businesses here to support plans to triple assets under management (AUM) by 2025, said a top executive.
