Citigroup returns to profit
Citigroup returned to profit in 2010 for the first time since the banking crisis as it set aside $24.4bn to pay salaries and bonuses of its 260,000 staff around the world.
Citigroup posted a $4.43-billion first-quarter profit, its best result in nearly three years, as the economic recovery reduced the bank's credit losses and increased prices on even its worst assets.
