Revenues declined by $3.4 billion during Q2 2010 and net income was down by $1.7 billion sequentially, due to lower Securities and Banking & Special Asset Pool revenues.

Citigroup has common equity of $154.5 billion and $46.2 billion in loan loss reserves. The expenses were $11.9 billion, up 3% QoQ and included $404 million from the U.K. bonus tax.

 

Provisions for credit losses and for benefits & claims declined $2.0 billion QoQ to $6.7 billion, reflecting continued improvement in credit quality.  According to management, while the market environment lowered revenues in Securities and Banking, credit improved for the fourth consecutive quarter.
