Citigroup announced it expects to incur a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.2 billion from the sale of its remaining Russian operations to Renaissance Capital. This divestment is part of Citigroup's broader withdrawal from Russia, initiated in August 2022, following sanctions imposed on Russia due to the Ukraine conflict. The loss is largely attributed to currency translation adjustments. Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized the deal, which is expected to finalize in the first half of 2026. Citigroup had previously sold its ruble-denominated consumer loan portfolio to Uralsib in December 2022.
