NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc is not seeking government aid at the moment, a person close to the bank said on Thursday.
The bank's shares lost more than a quarter of their value on Thursday, prompting speculation the government may have to intervene to prop up what was once the world's largest bank by assets.
But Citigroup is not seeing any unusual client activity now and is not seeking additional aid from the government in any form. The bank received $25 billion of funds from the government in October under the Troubled Assets Relief Program, but does not expect to seek more TARP money.
