Specifically, the offering will leverage LSEG’s data, analytics and workflow solutions at enterprise scale, to enhance Citi’s data foundations and support the firm’s front-to-back workflows across its business lines, including markets, investment banking, wealth, trading, risk, finance and compliance.
In addition, through data consolidation and standardised governance, the integration aims to enable Citi to produce clearer insights, and more informed client conversations, as well as gain access to LSEG’s end-to-end workflow solutions.
David Livingstone, chief client officer at Citi, said: “High-quality data underpins how we deliver for clients. This partnership with LSEG gives our teams a comprehensive, trusted base of intelligence that spans Citi’s franchise, strengthening how we design products, advise clients, and execute on their behalf.
“By integrating LSEG’s data and analytics directly into our workflows, we can deliver sharper insights, faster responses, and a more consistent client experience.”

LSEG’s data and analytics spans AI-ready content and multi-asset class data, across economic indicators, pricing and market information, company and reference data, benchmarks and indices, fund and Lipper data, deals data, commodities, news, risk-intelligence and regulatory data.
Ron Lefferts, co-head of data and analytics, LSEG, said: “By combining AI-ready content, cloud-native analytics and integrated workflow tools such as LSEG Workspace, we are supporting Citi’s modernisation agenda, helping them innovate at scale while strengthening governance, risk management and compliance.”
In recent months, LSEG has made continual enhancements to its data offering through further developments and strategic partnerships. In October, the firm announced an enhancement in its collaboration with Microsoft, to provide agentic AI with data made accessible through an LSEG managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Similarly, in September, LSEG formed a strategic partnership with Databricks, to deliver its data natively via Databricks’ open-source data sharing approach, Delta Sharing.
