“Deficiencies in CGML’s trading controls contributed to this incident, in particular the absence of certain preventative hard blocks and the inappropriate calibration of other controls,” the PRA stated.

Citi had acquired “repeated supervisory communication” from the PRA to enhance, however weaknesses endured, the regulator stated.

The PRA stated it had fined Citi 33.88 million kilos for failings in its buying and selling programs and controls between April 1, 2018, and May 31, 2022. That nice had been diminished by 30% after Citi agreed to resolve the problem.

“We immediately took steps to strengthen our systems and controls, and remain committed to ensuring full regulatory compliance,” she stated through electronic mail.
