On 17 May 2024, the PRA issued a Final Notice to Citigroup Global Markets Limited (CGML). The PRA imposed a financial penalty of £33,880,000 for breaches of Fundamental Rules two (a firm must conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence), five (a firm must have effective risk strategies and risk management systems) and six (a firm must organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively), as well as breaches of the PRA Rulebook Algorithmic Trading Rules 2.1(2-3) and 2.2(2). CGML agreed to settle during the Discount Stage of the PRA’s investigation. As a result, CGML qualified for a 30% settlement discount under the PRA Settlement Policy. Were it not for this discount, the PRA would have imposed a financial penalty of £48,400,000. The PRA’s action took effect on 17 May 2024.
