Citigroup’s new chief executive has wasted little time putting his stamp on the US bank by axing 11,000 jobs, adding to a wave of staff reductions across the financial services industry.

花旗集团(Citigroup)新首席执行官上任伊始，就迅速在这家美国银行身上烙下自己的印迹。他宣布裁员1.1万人，进一步推高了波及整个金融服务行业的裁员浪潮。

Michael Corbat, who took the helm less than two months ago and known for his focus on costs, announced a raft of cutbacks in the bank’s emerging markets consumer business, global retail operations, investment bank and support functions.

迈克尔·科尔巴(Michael Corbat)不到两个月前执掌花旗，以关注成本闻名。花旗这次裁员主要涉及新兴市场消费者业务、全球零售业务、投行和支持性职能部门。

Its consumer banking operations will bear the brunt of the cuts in what one Citi banker described as “taking low-hanging fruit, given its lack of scale in the five markets – from Turkey to Uruguay – where it will either sell or shrink those units.

消费银行业务首当其冲。一名花旗银行家称之为“先摘掉低垂的果实，因为从土耳其到乌拉圭的五个市场规模有限，花旗将出售或者缩小这些部门。

“Given the challenging environment, we need to continue to be disciplined in how we allocate our finite resources, Mr Corbat said in a memo to staff.
