Even as stock markets around the world shot up today, economic projections pointed downward in many countries, sparking skepticism about how long the Citigroup bounce might last.

Citigroup also has a huge international presence, with more than 200 million customer accounts in 106 countries.

Robert Lenzner, national editor of Forbes magazine, speaks with Martin Savidge about the repercussions of Citigroup’s fall, overseas faith in U.S. financial institutions and foreign banks that are also threatened.

Paul Blustein, a journalist at the Brookings Institution, joins Martin Savidge to discuss U.S. dependence on foreign investment and the future of these investments given huge losses. They also discuss other American companies that are courting foreign investors, such as General Electric.
