花旗集团（C.N）的墨西哥分公司正在寻求与其他银行扩展业务，花旗墨西哥首席执行官路易斯·布罗西耶周二对路透社表示，与巴纳梅克斯分拆后，该公司在服务金融机构方面拥有了更大的自由度。
Citigroup's (C.N) Mexican unit is aiming to expand its business with other banks after its separation from Banamex gave it greater freedom to serve financial institutions, Citi Mexico CEO Luis Brossier told Reuters on Tuesday.
花旗于2024年将巴纳梅克斯从其机构银行业务中分拆出来，这是其更广泛计划的一部分，旨在剥离对这家零售银行的所有权，并计划通过预计于2027年进行的首次公开募股完全完成剥离。
Citi split Banamex from its institutional banking business in 2024 as part of a broader plan to unwind its ownership of the retail bank, which it intends to fully do through an initial public offering expected in 2027.
布罗西耶表示，分拆使得花旗墨西哥能够更像花旗在巴西等市场的以企业为导向的业务那样运营，在巴西，投资银行、市场业务和交易服务推动了增长。
Brossier said the separation has allowed Citi Mexico to operate more like Citi's corporate-focused business in markets such as Brazil, where investment banking, markets and transaction services have driven growth.
“我们已经拥有企业客户，因为该业务是随我们从巴纳梅克斯转移过来的，”布罗西耶在圣保罗的一次采访中表示。“现在的机遇在于，如何为这些相同的客户做更多。”他表示，增长的一个途径是为其他银行提供服务，这是花旗在拥有巴纳梅克斯期间此前受到限制，无法积极推进的业务。
"We already had the corporate clients because that business moved with us from Banamex," Brossier said in an interview in Sao Paulo. "The opportunity now is how we do more for those same clients." One avenue for growth is providing services to other banks, a business Citi was previously constrained from aggressively pursuing while it owned Banamex, he said.
“花旗在全球往往是一家为银行服务的银行，”布罗西耶表示，并引用了该贷款机构的国际网络和金融基础设施。
"Citi globally tends to be a bank for banks," Brossier said, citing the lender's international footprint and financial infrastructure.
布罗西耶补充说，这一转变已经开始见效，巴纳梅克斯本身将成为一个重要客户。
The shift is already yielding results, Brossier added, with Banamex itself set to become an important client.
花旗最近主导了巴纳梅克斯的额外一级资本债券发行，这是该零售银行在与花旗分拆后构建独立资产负债表过程中的首次高风险债务发行。花旗还将在巴纳梅克斯最终的首次公开募股中发挥作用。
Citi recently led Banamex's additional tier-one bond issuance, the retail bank's first sale of high-risk debt as it builds an independent balance sheet following its separation from Citi. Citi is also set to play a role in Banamex's eventual IPO.
布罗西耶还提到了花旗与墨西哥BBVA（BBVA.MC）的业务，表示花旗已为该银行处理了债券发行，他表示，当巴纳梅克斯仍是花旗的一部分时，这不太可能发生。
Brossier also pointed to business with BBVA (BBVA.MC) in Mexico, saying Citi has handled bond issuances for the bank -- work he said would have been unlikely when Banamex was still part of Citi.
花旗还看到扩大其服务于中型公司的商业银行业务以及私人银行业务的机会。
Citi also sees opportunities to expand its commercial banking segment, which serves mid-sized companies, as well as private banking.
他说，这一策略与花旗在巴西的做法如出一辙：花旗通过商业银行业务将那些快速增长的公司纳入其业务体系，旨在将这些公司培养成更大的机构客户。
He said the strategy mirrors Citi's approach in Brazil, where commercial banking brings fast-growing companies into the franchise with the aim of developing them into larger institutional clients.
“这其实是一种获取新客户的手段，”布罗西耶（Brossier）在谈到墨西哥的商业银行业务时说道，“而对于我们现有的客户群体，我们的重点则是进一步深化与他们的合作关系。”
"That is a client-acquisition business," Brossier said of commercial banking in Mexico. "For the rest of the franchise, the focus is on deepening relationships with the clients we already have."
