美国花旗银行真的破产了吗？

美国花旗银行宣布破产!华尔街目前盛传花旗银行集团有可能申请破产保护，因为该公司并没有收到来自中东投资者，特别是阿布扎比投资管理局75亿美元的投资。花旗银行宣布破产这一传闻真假尚难判断。

花旗银行总部位于美国纽约派克大道399号的花旗银行，是华盛顿街最古老的商业银行之一。1812年7月16日，华盛顿政府的第一任财政总监（commissioner of the u.s. treasury ）塞缪尔.奥斯古德（samuel osgood）上校与纽约的一些商人合伙创办了纽约城市银行（city bank of new york）——今日花旗集团的前身。当时，该银行还是一家在纽约州注册的银行。在创建之初，纽约城市银行主要从事一些与拉丁美洲贸易有关的金融业务。1865年7月17日，按照美国国民银行法，纽约城市银行取得了国民银行的营业执照，更名为纽约国民城市银行（national city bank of new york）。此后，纽约国民城市银行迅速发展成为全美最大的银行之一。

有美国政府呢，花旗不会倒闭的！

Rumours hit the Here Is The City news desk this morning that Citi was likely to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy imminently, after Middle-Eastern investors, specifically the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, had allegedly pulled its $7.5bn investment in the company. The implications of Citi filing for Chapter 11 are clearly huge, and the rumour mill is currently working overtime. Further investigations have uncovered, however, that the rumours appear to have originated out of the Far East Tuesday morning by what looks like a group of traders who may be gone ambitiously short on Citi stock and are staring a big loss in the face. Circulating malicious rumours about the company is this way is clearly designed to depress Citi stock further and attempt to turn the trades around. The truth is that, although far from out of the woods, Citi will not file for Chapter 11 and, indeed, has had those Abu Dhabi funds in the bank for over a month. Furthermore, the firm's $2.9bn public offering announced last week is already understood to be oversubscribed. The efforts to beef up Citi's balance sheet, then, are well on track. With the markets currently sensitive to every nuance, however, rumours of this kind can only make a generally bad situation worse. Ian Brown, the CEO of Here Is The City, described this kind of speculation as 'the financial equivalent of terrorism'. In the same way that we need to remain constantly vigilant to threats of terrorist attack, responsible persons need to exercise careful judgement before acting on unsupported rumours generated by third-parties with dubious motives. The markets are in enough difficulty already without this kind of baloney. It's business as usual at Citi. Let's go about our business too.
