There were 33,460 jobs posted in the period from 18 April 2021 to 24 April 2021 according to the GlobalData job analytics tool. This represents a 5.56% increase from the previous weeks total of 31,699 positions.

Citigroup rose to the top spot with 1664 jobs posted, up 143 jobs from last week. In second place was Banamex with 1514 jobs posted, followed by JP Morgan and Wells Fargo with 1504 and 1432 roles, respectively.

Citigroup hit the headlines this week when it decided to pull the plugs on retail banking in China, in order to set up investment banking and trading operations in the country.

The American lender is planning to apply for a securities licence to underwrite yuan-denominated shares and facilitate trading for clients within the next two months, Bloomberg reported citing an unnamed source.

Citi, which is also eyeing a license for futures brokering, is planning to launch operations in the next 12 to 18 months. It is expected to name the CEO for the business soon and hire a team of 50 staffs, with plans to expand it to nearly 100 in the future.

The majority of the new hires will be external, but the bank will also transfer employees from other mainland businesses to bridge the gap.
