Citibank is planning to sell the consumer banking operations it has operated for a century in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia as South America's three biggest economies suffer a major downturn.
The New York-based bank said Friday in a statement that its decision was prompted by a desire to allocate resources where it can generate the best returns.
