The US government has announced a rescue plan for the Citigroup
The US treasury department is to invest $20bn (£13.4bn) in return for preferred shares in Citigroup. The treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp will also guarantee up to $306bn (£205bn) of risky loans and securities on Citigroup's books.
The plan follows a $25bn injection of public funds in the bank last month.
