The ‘Un-Official’ Reading & Useful Links List

recommended by Citi’s Graduate Recruitment and Development

In the following pages we have tried to provide you with a list of books and useful links as
you prepare to join our programmes or even for your studies or your professional life. For
the books, we include links to Google Books for a better look inside. Naturally, this is not
an exhaustive list, nor is a prerequisite for our programmes. Internet search engines,
corporate websites or even social network sites like YouTube could also provide further
resources.

At Citi we firmly believe in the principle of choice, hence we leave it up to you to define
the usefulness of this list. Your comments and suggestions for any other publications or
links that we should include in the future will also increase the value and relevance of
future editions hence will be more than welcome.

Enjoy this journey and looking forward to welcome you at Citi.
