CITIGROUP Inc reduced its forecast for net interest margin, the difference between what it makes on loans and pays for funds, on expectations interest rates will remain low for a longer stretch than bank executives previously thought.
The margin will be about 2.90 per cent in the second half of 2016, down from a previous forecast of 2.95 per cent, chief financial officer John Gerspach said on Friday on a conference call with analysts. The figure was 2.86 per cent in the second quarter. New York-based Citigroup shares have extended this year's decline to almost 15 per cent.
