Description

Citi bank will create 501 jobs in Northern Ireland. The investment by the international banking group will see a major expansion of its current operation in Belfast. The announcement by US-based Citi comes weeks after Northern Ireland's political leaders attended a conference in Washington hosted by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aimed at attracting stateside business to invest in the region. The boost has been backed by a £8.4 million grant from Government business support body Invest Northern Ireland.
