Vikram Pandit has a proposal aimed at shining a light into the black boxes that are the balance sheets of our biggest financial institutions. Writing in Wednesday’s Financial Times, Vikram Pandit says that banks should be required to explain how they would measure risk in a standard portfolio created by regulators.

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said Citigroup is "definitely on the right track" and praised Chief Executive Vikram Pandit for "rehabilitating that bank and having it go back to where it should have been a long time ago."
