NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Citigroup Inc. C, +1.62% officials said on Friday that the firm plans to issue about $4.5 billion more in long-term debt in the fourth quarter. The bank's forecast is unchanged, said Treasurer Eric Aboaf, on a conference call. The company has sold $15.7 billion in long-term debt this year, in multiple currencies, this year. In coming years, Citigroup will continue to issue about $20 billion in debt a year, he said. However, it won't replace debt sold under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp's plan during the credit crisis, which effectively allowed financial companies to sell government-guaranteed debt. John Gerspach, Citigroup's chief financial officer, also said the company is already in compliance with requirements of Basel III regulations for 2015. Aboaf added they won't need to issue any equity to meet those requirements.
