<p>[東京] 根據華爾街銀行的當地高管，花旗集團正在尋求抓住日本經濟復甦的機會，儘管人才爭奪戰限制了其增長雄心。</p>
<p>花旗集團的國家官員羅伯特·中村表示，該銀行正在推動在日本的擴張。它追求客户驅動業務的兩位數收入增長，並希望在該亞洲國家的關鍵業務中躋身前三大外資銀行。</p>
<p>中村表示：“我們之前很難從美國獲得關注。” 他在花旗工作超過 30 年，且在兩年前被任命為現職。“現在我們面臨着人們希望來日本的後勤挑戰。”</p>
<p>花旗在當地經紀業務的收益激增，因為其位於紐約的總部正在忙於全球重組，依賴日本的員工來實現更強勁的增長。</p>
<p>日本是花旗為戰略投資而選擇的少數國家之一，包括為證券承銷和併購諮詢招聘更多銀行家。除了投資銀行業務外，該公司在日本的其他主要業務還包括交易、企業和商業銀行以及交易服務。</p>
<p>根據文件，花旗全球市場日本的淨收入去年增長了 14%，達到至少十年來的最高水平，得益於併購諮詢和交易收益。淨收入在經歷了兩年的下降後增長了 50%。</p>

<p>儘管如此，根據彭博社彙編的數據，去年在某些領域，如企業債券和股票承銷，仍落後於高盛和美國銀行等外資銀行競爭對手。</p>
<p>中村表示：“如果我們不在前三名，我們就不舒服。” 他補充説：“這就是花旗在全球的追求。”</p>
<p>根據中村的説法，確保人才以支持其在日本的增長計劃已成為最大的障礙之一，這反映了整個行業面臨的頭痛問題。</p>

<p>花旗集團計劃在日本擴張，目標是實現兩位數的收入增長，並在外資銀行中排名前三，儘管在吸引人才方面面臨挑戰。國家負責人羅伯特·中村強調了銀行近期的盈利增長和在投資銀行和交易等領域的戰略投資。然而，技術工人的競爭非常激烈，某些行業的薪資預計將會上漲。中村指出，日本經濟復甦帶來了重大機遇，儘管仍存在地緣政治不確定性和勞動力短缺等風險</p>
