• potential fiscal, monetary, tax, sanctions and other changes promulgated by the U.S. federal government and other governments (see the macroeconomic challenges and uncertainties and changes to interest rates risk factors above) References to “regulatory” refer to both formal regulation and the views and expectations of Citi’s regulators in their supervisory and enforcement roles, which, as they change over time, can have a major impact. Additionally, U.S. and international regulatory and legislative initiatives have not always been undertaken or implemented on a coordinated basis, and areas of divergence have developed and continue to develop with respect to their scope, interpretation, timing, structure or approach, leading to inconsistent or even conflicting requirements, including within a single jurisdiction. Further, ongoing regulatory and legislative uncertainties and changes make Citi’s long-term business, balance sheet and strategic planning difficult, subject to change, and potentially more costly and may impact its results of operations. U.S. and other regulators globally have implemented and continue to discuss various changes to certain regulatory requirements, which would require ongoing assessment by management as to the impact to Citi, its businesses and business planning. Business planning must necessarily be based on possible or proposed rules or outcomes, which can change significantly upon finalization, or upon implementation or interpretive guidance from numerous regulatory bodies worldwide, and such guidance can change. Regulatory and legislative changes have also significantly increased Citi’s compliance risks and costs (see the implementation and interpretation of regulatory scrutiny and changes risk factor below) and can adversely affect Citi’s competitive position, as well as its businesses, revenues, results of operations and financial condition. Citi May Be Unable to Achieve Its Objectives from Its Simplification, Transformation and Enhanced Business Performance Priorities. Citi has been pursuing overall simplification initiatives to enhance its client focus and reduce expenses. Citi’s simplification initiatives, including completing its divestiture of Banamex, involve various execution challenges, may take longer than expected and may result in higher expenses, or lower than expected expense savings, CTA and other losses or other negative financial or strategic impacts, which could be material, and litigation and regulatory scrutiny (for information about CTA impacts, see the changes in or incorrect assumptions risk factor below). As part of its multiyear transformation, Citi also continues to make significant investments and undertake substantial actions across the Company to modernize its data and technology infrastructure, further strengthen its risk and controls environment and further enhance safety and soundness (see “Citi’s Multiyear Transformation” above and the legal and regulatory proceedings risk factor below).

Any adjustments needed to the modeled expected losses in the quantitative calculations are addressed through a qualitative adjustment.
