UBS Group AG expands its American wealth department.Chief Financial Officer of Citigroup: I feel very good about this year's revenue performance. Citigroup is expected to achieve the high end of the revenue guidance range in 2024, and plans to increase the stock repurchase scale after the bank's capital prospects are further clarified. "It is my top priority to return more of Citi's capital to investors," Mark Mason, chief financial officer of Citigroup, said at a conference organized by Goldman Sachs on Tuesday. "I am well aware of our trading level compared with our peers." Mason also said that the bank expects to reach the high end of the income guidance of $80 billion to $81 billion this year. "So it feels very good," he said. Mason said that spending may also be at the high end of the range. This shows that the bank will realize the forecast of two key indicators at the beginning of the year.The year-end sprint of Beijing's new site: the price of some hot-selling houses has increased by 1,000 yuan, and the market has bottomed out. The policy should be exhausted and the cost-profit ratio should be superimposed. The sprint of Beijing's new site at the end of this year seems to be "calm". On December 10, the reporter visited and found that most projects in Beijing chose to continue the preferential margin in November to sprint the year-end performance. Only a few projects give a discount of "15% off the house price if you pay the down payment within 5 days". While the discount is relatively "calm", the hot-selling units of some properties even rose by 1000 yuan per square meter on the basis of last month's price. Guo Yi, chief analyst of Heshuo, believes that the Beijing market has experienced a period of deep adjustment in the past year, and many real estate enterprises have launched discounts and profit-making activities in order to promote sales. Some projects may not reach the expected profit, while others have made great concessions by "exchanging price for quantity". However, as the market entered the turning point of upward stabilization, housing enterprises began to gradually recover discounts to increase profits. This is also a symbolic feature of the market from the downside to the upside. (beijing business today)
