Citigroup mulls up to $400 bln asset sales: source

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) will present as much as $400 billion of "non-core" assets that can be sold by the bank when it meets with investors and analysts on Friday, a person familiar with the situation said.

Newly-installed Chief Executive Vikram Pandit, scrambling to slash Citi's costs and assets hard hit by the credit crunch, also intends to reaffirm his promise to cut annual expenses by about 20 percent, the source told Reuters on Thursday.
