Citi's Luet says "very excited" about Korea, Taiwan activity

Citi’s Marc Luet, Head of Japan, Asia North & Australia and Banking, has expressed optimism about the bank’s activities in Korea and Taiwan, highlighting the strategic importance of both markets in the evolving global financial landscape. Luet emphasized that Citi remains committed to supporting clients in navigating market uncertainties and capitalizing on semiconductors and AI infrastructure.

Taiwan, in particular, is viewed as a critical hub for global technology and manufacturing, with Citi maintaining a strong presence for over six decades. The bank has supported local clients with over $25 billion in capital market raisings since 2020 and continues to offer tailored financial solutions to meet cross-border and liquidity needs. Luet also noted the growing investment flows from Taiwanese companies into Singapore, India, and ASEAN, reflecting broader regional trade corridor developments.

In Korea, Citi’s engagement is part of its broader strategy to support multinational clients through its global network. Luet recently welcomed a new cohort of Summer Analysts from the region, underscoring the bank’s focus on cultivating local talent and fostering long-term relationships in key markets. Citi’s differentiated value proposition lies in its ability to provide comprehensive banking solutions across 180 markets, enabling clients to manage complex financial and operational challenges.
