Another loss 200 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: for the Yankees, and this one included a questionable managerial 201 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 6: decision by Aaron Boone.

This is Bloomberg Day Break. 215 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 7: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Wall Street leaders continue to 216 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 7: express confidence in the US financial system, and the CEO 217 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 7: of City Group, Jane Fraser, is no exception, and in 218 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 7: conversation with Bloomberg Shnelli Bassic at the Milk and Global Conference, 219 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 7: Fraser called the US banking system the envy of the world. 220 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 7: That's after the collapse of First Republic Bank. She also 221 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 7: discussed your outlook for recession in the US, a potential 222 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 7: economic rebound, and the future of artificial intelligence in banking. 223 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 7: So let's bring you part of that discussion with the 224 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 7: CEO of City Group, Jane Fraser. 225 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 16: Right now, if you think about that first rescue that 226 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 16: was made by eleven large banks just weeks ago, why 227 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 16: wasn't there an inclination to step up and say first 228 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 16: Republic a second time. 229 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 9: Well, it's always a. 230 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 17: Sad day when you see a bank fail, but we 231 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 17: are all very pleased to get the major source of 232 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 17: uncertainty that was remaining from the recent. 233 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 9: Bank term all addressed. 234 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 17: And that is a good thing because fundamentally the US 235 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 17: financial system is sound. This is a case of a 236 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 17: small handful of banks that were poorly managed. 237 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 9: And getting this address is very important. 238 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 17: When we stood up, I think it's a statement that 239 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 17: the major banks, the eleven major banks in the country 240 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 17: in thirty hours, for thirty billion dollars to work to 241 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 17: buy the time to get the right solution and answer 242 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 17: put in place. 243 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 9: And that was our intention. It wasn't to provide the answer. 244 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 17: It was to give the time for confidence to get 245 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 17: restored and our regulators to do their job. 246 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 14: Which they did with First Republic being out of the way. Now, 247 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 14: certainly that was the wail in the room. 248 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 16: But what do you expect next in terms of any 249 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 16: future fag failures or even hiccups down the road. 250 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 9: So I am I'm more optimistic around it. 251 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 17: I do think the US financial system is extremely strong. 252 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 9: The large American banks globally are. 253 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 17: In an enviable position. Our financial system has a particular 254 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 17: structure to it. Large banks, regional banks, and commodity and 255 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 17: community banks. 256 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 9: Everyone plays a different role. 257 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 17: We played different scale, different customer basis, but it's a 258 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 17: strong system. I am anticipating there will be some more consolidation. 259 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 9: We do have over four and a. 260 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 17: Half thousand banks, and it's likely that the minimum efficient 261 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 17: scale will rise, but I don't think that brings into 262 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 17: question a system that is the MV. 263 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 9: Of the world. 264 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 17: This is a strong and highly desirable financial system, which 265 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 17: it works. 266 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 16: The big just got bigger today, right, this is JP Morgan. 267 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 16: Rather than regional banks consolidating among each other. Does that 268 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 16: create more competition for the smaller banks? 269 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 14: Given that the big are getting so big in this country, I. 270 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 17: Think there's room for everyone to play their roles. And 271 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 17: you know, the larger banks are also. 272 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 9: Playing on a global scale. 273 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 17: When I look at our own bank, our strategy is 274 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 17: around being the pre eminent partner for clients of crossworld 275 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 17: and needs. That is a very different role from the 276 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 17: role that a community bank plays, which is also very 277 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 17: important in the context of the local economy. I think 278 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 17: it's about different banks playing different roles and let's make 279 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 17: sure that we have a strong and successful system that works. 280 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 16: There's a lot of worries about the credit contractions that 281 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 16: could be seen in the United States, particularly among that sector, 282 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 16: small medium sized banks. They tend to smart a bake 283 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 16: small and medium sized businesses. Do you expect that there 284 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 16: will be a significant contraction and how do you handicap 285 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 16: the ripple of backs. 286 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 14: To the economy? 287 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 9: So certainly the risks now are more to the downside. 288 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 17: Than they were at the beginning of the year, and 289 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 17: no one anticipated the turmoil that we've seen so far 290 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 17: this year at the beginning, and I think it certainly 291 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 17: makes the second half is not going to be a 292 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 17: strong macroeconomically or in terms of investment, banking, wallet and 293 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 17: the like that we had hoped. That said, I think, 294 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 17: as you say, one of the big questions will be, 295 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 17: to one extent, does credit titan and you know if 296 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 17: that is material that will have a on the economy. 297 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 17: We're anticipating a recession at the back end. 298 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 9: Of the year. 299 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 17: But the amount of pent up demand, the amount of 300 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 17: the strength of the corporates, the strength of the consumer 301 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 17: coming into this the usual amplifiers of a contraction. 302 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 9: And not in place. 303 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 17: And I think we'll see the US economy, unlike others, 304 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 17: pull out of whatever a recession environment could be pretty quickly. 305 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 16: So the so you see that recession finally come nearer, 306 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 16: what exactly does it look like always impacted. 307 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 14: What feels pain? 308 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 17: Well, I think we'll see, as everyone always does, more 309 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 17: pain being felt in among some of the consumers at. 310 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 9: The lower PI COO. The benefit we've got at. 311 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 17: The moment has been very strong employment, and that's terrific, 312 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 17: But the health of the consumer and that has remained 313 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 17: the same. 314 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 9: The corporate sector is particularly strong, and I think that's 315 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 9: why you hear so many. 316 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 17: Of us talking about this being a more manageable or 317 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 17: moderate recession if one does indeed come about, and one 318 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 17: in which the economy should be able to pull out 319 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 17: a bit pretty strongly. 320 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 16: And to the extent that you're preparing for a recession, 321 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 16: you know, City Group itself has just written off a 322 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 16: lot of credit card debt to begin with in the 323 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 16: first quarter. 324 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 14: Do you expect you're. 325 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 16: Going to have to tighten lending standards even more for 326 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 16: consumers and even corporates. 327 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 17: We are a long way from being in a situation 328 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 17: where the credit levels are even normalized where they are 329 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 17: pre COVID, So we're probably only seventy percent of the 330 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 17: way to the pre COVID levels of normal credit losses 331 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 17: that you expect, So there's still quite a there's a 332 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 17: lot of room still to go before we start using 333 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 17: the stress word. The city is probably a little biased 334 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 17: towards the crime. Eighty percent of our customer base in 335 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 17: the States is prime, so we don't tend to see 336 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 17: the lower Fiico as much, and there will. 337 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 9: Be a little bit more strous there and everyone's going 338 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 9: to need to keep an eye on that. 339 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 16: I want to pivot a little bit here and talk 340 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 16: about other area of stress that it's being seen in 341 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 16: one of the safest markets in the world, that is 342 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 16: the treasury market. 343 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 14: You have a front row seat here. 344 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 16: It's a kind of the ripple effects that are being 345 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 16: built in Washington from the discuts around them dead limit. 346 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 14: What does that look like from your view, Well, I think. 347 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 17: The market is stilting to have a sense of humor 348 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 17: failure around some of what's going on. So we've certainly 349 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 17: seen more than we have in recent debt ceiling concerns 350 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 17: and impact on the treasury market in the short term. 351 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 9: The pricing for the. 352 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 17: June September has definitely come down. The CDs market is 353 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 17: seeing quite. 354 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 9: Unprecedented why thing there, So there is a lot more concern. 355 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 17: I'd say the last week or so we were seeing 356 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 17: three times a volume of questions for investors and it's 357 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 17: silli early, but it is a concern around it. 358 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 9: This could be quite dire. 359 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 17: For consumers, for corporates, and indeed for the markets if. 360 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 9: This goes down to the wire or worse. 361 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 16: How does the rest of the world look at this 362 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 16: dispute in the United States and invest in the treasury 363 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 16: as the last thing that the world needs right. 364 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 9: Now, particularly in the market. 365 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 17: So, you know, we want to see strength in the 366 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 17: US capital markets. We want to see confidence in what's 367 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 17: going and the banking sector very well positioned. 368 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 9: The banks are very strong as we see. 369 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 17: So we're in a position, as we did in the pandemic, 370 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 17: as we did in the turmoil, to be there to 371 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 17: support markets, to be there to support our customer bases, 372 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 17: consumers and corporates. So I think from that perspective we're. 373 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 9: In a good position. 374 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 17: But it is the last thing that the world and 375 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 17: America needs is to have a debt sealing crisis. 376 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 16: The other classer and gore to the treasury market is 377 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 16: another big bed meeting and the prospect of even higher 378 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 16: interst rates. Where do you think the direction of travel 379 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 16: has had a. 380 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 17: Services inflation is painfully persistent. We've seen the goods inflation 381 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 17: come way down. Supply chains are now in far better 382 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 17: shape than they were. So it's really about services inflation 383 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 17: and the tightness of the labor market and Shair and 384 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 17: how it has been and we. 385 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 9: Need him to stay resolute on inflation. 386 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 17: This is not good to have long term inflation into 387 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 17: the US economy. Some is fine, but his resoluteness is 388 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 17: something I think we can bank on. So we're anticipating 389 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 17: higher than the market would like, for longer than the 390 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 17: market would like. There's so much pentof demand in the 391 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 17: market at the moment and it keeps wanting to get 392 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 17: ahead of this, but that's just not where the economy is. 393 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 16: So do you think that the market is discounting the 394 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 16: potential for higher rates for longer and what does that 395 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 16: mean for asset process? 396 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 17: Many of us here at Milkin do believe that the 397 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 17: market is too enthusiastic here, partly because the economy is 398 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 17: so resilient. This is a strong resilient US economy, and 399 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 17: that is part of the challenge. We anticipate, you know, 400 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 17: a tough end of the year and a recovery in 401 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 17: twenty four. 402 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 9: From the market. 403 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 17: Perspective, though it tends to enter debate these things, so 404 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 17: towards the end of the year, the market should be 405 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 17: anticipating the recovery and in stronger position, just a little later. 406 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 9: Than it would like it to be. 407 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 14: I just want to. 408 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 16: Reset here for a global Bloomberg TV and radio audiences. 409 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 16: I'm here with Jane Fraser, the CEO of City Group. Jane, 410 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 16: I want to give it back to the cigaret and 411 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 16: your business plans. You had mentioned kind of the softness 412 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 16: expected to the end of the year. 413 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 14: How do you expect that. 414 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 16: To weigh on investment, banking, and particularly not just activity 415 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 16: but jobs. 416 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 17: Look, our corporate clients come to us from the full 417 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 17: way dilemma, and that's or the cash that they have 418 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 17: on their balance sheets. Their balance sheets are in good health. 419 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 17: Should they be keeping us cash for a cushion, Should 420 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 17: they be doing dividends and buybacks, Should they be paying 421 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 17: down debt because they anticipate being more expensive for a 422 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 17: little while longer, or should they. 423 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 9: Be investing in transformation. 424 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 17: Our pipeline in investment banking is bigger than it was 425 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 17: pre COVID, and it's big transformational transactions. 426 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 9: There's a lot of pent up demand. We're seeing it. 427 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 17: A little bit more IICO activity and interest a little 428 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 17: bit more in leverage finance, the investment grade markets better. 429 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 9: So this pent up demand is building and building. 430 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 17: I just don't think it's going to get released as 431 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 17: early as we would like it to. 432 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 9: And it certainly feels much more like the back end. 433 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 17: Of twenty three for all of us than as we'd 434 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 17: all kind of be hoping would be early whole. 435 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 14: And what does that mean for the dance story? 436 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 13: Then? 437 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 16: Do you keep the bankers on board until that comes 438 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 16: back or do you think you're going to have to 439 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 16: make some reductions were I think, like every institution, you make. 440 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 17: Some adjustments around the capacity. But we're playing the long 441 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 17: game in investment banking. I'm very like to say, we 442 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 17: have a lot of talent that wants to come and 443 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 17: join us, and we've been bringing some terrific talent in 444 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 17: in the healthcare sector, in the technology sector and investing 445 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 17: in that. 446 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 9: Now. 447 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 17: Yeah, we're playing the long game here, So I think 448 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 17: that's important. 449 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 14: I think there's another part. 450 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 16: Of the business that's we're talking about. It's your treasury 451 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 16: and trade services business. You're a lot of people don't 452 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 16: realize you will for trillion dollars worth of money for cooperations. 453 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 14: And clients around the world. But how do you get 454 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 14: the market to value you for that? 455 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 17: Yes, so it is a This business is a thing 456 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 17: of beauty. It's for five thousand multinationals four trillion dollars 457 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 17: every single day in payroll, in cash. 458 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 9: Management, in recurement and supply chain. 459 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 17: It's also very very sticky, which is I think of 460 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 17: note at the moment, because there's a lot of services 461 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 17: attached to it. There's data, it's embedded into the clients businesses, 462 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 17: into their technology systems. It helps make them more efficient, 463 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 17: manage risk, manage. 464 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 9: What's going on. 465 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 17: So this is a highly desirable, very very sticky deposit 466 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 17: base that sits there, and I think the market's. 467 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 9: Beginning to realize that this is a thing. 468 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 17: Of beauty that has absolutely been firing on all cylinders 469 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 17: as we've been investing behind it in the last few years. 470 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 9: It's unique. 471 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 16: Is this the race that you're going to win at 472 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 16: Because the beginning of your tenure was really marked by 473 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 16: exiting certain businesses. So what is the new City Group 474 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 16: story to hold on to to kind of bring that 475 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 16: stuck and line the performance of your life. 476 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 17: We have never been clearer about what our strategy and 477 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 17: our vision of our firm is.
