  PARSONS AFFIRMS FAITH IN MANAGEMENT
  
  "We went through a rigorous stress test process, the results of which were agreed to by appropriate regulatory agencies and clearly reflect the significant progress made by this management team over the last 15 months to turn Citi around," Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
  
  Parsons said Citigroup has reduced its balance sheet by nearly 25 percent and "riskier" assets by over 50 percent.
  
  "We have raised an unprecedented amount of capital and, upon completion of the pending public exchange offer, Citi will be among the best-capitalized banks in the world," Parsons added.
