To further establish Citi as a thought leader, the group also regularly produces broad thematic pieces on current topics that have significant implications for our clients. Recent examples of this work include topics on inflation, recession, interest rates, and identifying shifts in investor focus on KPIs that are likely to drive the valuation positioning thesis for upcoming IPOs.
