Citibank Korea, formed through the US group's $2.7bn takeover of Koram, is aiming to grow its share of South Korea's banking market by more than a third to 10 per cent within a few years, its chief executive said.
In his first interview since February's acquisition, Ha Yung-Ku said the combination of Citigroup's global reach and Koram's small business client base would help the bank to gain ground in the country's competitive financial services sector.
