(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc plans to cut up to 50,000

jobs, CNBC television said on Monday, as souring economies and

global credit conditions cause the U.S. bank with the farthest

reach worldwide to retrench.

The cuts are on top of the roughly 23,000 jobs Citigroup has

already slashed this year, and would leave the second-largest

U.S. bank with about 300,000 jobs worldwide.

Here are some details of major job cuts in the financial

sector since the beginning of September:
