Citigroup decided to sell its German retail banking division to France's Credit Mutuel for $7.7 billion as the financial behemoth continues reeling from the mortgage loan mess. In addition, analysts speculated that the European-region probably shrank for the first time since the single-currency Euro was formed almost 10 years ago.

In Japan, Shinsei Bank agreed to buy General Electric's consumer financing arm for $5.4 billion as GE continues to seek the sale of non-core operating units, such as its global appliance business months ago.
