  1. Citigroup is selling more debt backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Informa Global Markets said Tuesday. While the amount has not been determined, the bank is likely to sell 2-year and 3-year debt under the program that effectively lends financial institutions the government's AAA rating, allowing them to borrow at much cheaper rates than they would have paid amid the credit crisis. The deal is expected to price on Tuesday, according to Informa.
