NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Citi announced that Nathan Sheets, PhD will be returning to the firm as its new Global Chief Economist, based in New York, overseeing the global Economics team and leading research across all areas of economics.
Sheets re-joins Citi from PGIM Fixed Income, where he was Chief Economist and Head of Global Macroeconomics Research for the past four years. Prior to PGIM Fixed Income, Sheets served as Undersecretary of the US Treasury for International Affairs under President Barack Obama. He was last with Citi from 2011 to 2014 as Global Head of International Economics.

Among his most notable accomplishments, Sheets acted as the Fed Chairman’s international adviser at the onset of the European fiscal crisis in the spring of 2010. He was also a key force behind the Federal Reserve Board’s global emergency lending program during the global financial crisis. While on leave from the Fed, he worked at the International Monetary Fund as senior advisor to the U.S. Executive Director from 2006 to 2007.
“We are thrilled to have Nathan back at Citi. His wealth of experience, and deep insight on global macroeconomics will be a significant value-add to our client franchise,” said Rob Rowe, Global Strategy and Macro Head at Citi.
