Citi Singapore backs financial education, youth development

FINANCIAL institutions are often in a prime position to play a pivotal role in preparing youth for tomorrow's workforce - a sentiment not lost on Citi Singapore.

As an advocate of financial education and youth-development programmes, it has committed more than S$15.3 million through a range of partnerships with both government and non-government organisations and educational institutions since 2002.

Under the latest of such collaborations, 20 students from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College East visited Citi Singapore's trading premises to learn the basics of banking, financial markets and foreign exchange (FX) from Citi staff.
