Citigroup Will Not Have Asset Fire Sale: WSJ
Text Size 
Citigroup executives say they have enough funding in place to support the $80 billion in structured investment vehicles (SIVs) the bank manages and won't be forced to sell assets at
distressed prices, The Wall Street Journal reported on its web site.
The bank has secured adequate funding through the end of the year after selling some $20 billion in assets since this summer's credit crunch, the Journal reported on Thursday, citing unnamed Citigroup executives.
John Havens, head of Citigroup's alternative-asset management unit, said the bank's SIVs have been able to sell "many billions of dollars" of short-term debt over the past week or so. In an interview with the Journal, he said losses on the sales have been much less than $1 billion.
