Citigroup has made a raft of promotions at the top of its investment banking businesses in central and eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The US bank said in a statement that Omar Iqtidar will relocate to London to become head of its mergers and acquisitions business for Ceemea. He succeeds Cisco Abularach, who Citi named head of real estate and infrastructure for Emea within its corporate and investment bank earlier this year.
