The US government has agreed to take a 36 percent stake in Citigroup, placing what was once the world's largest financial service group under de-facto government control.

Citigroup announced on Friday that the government will boost its investment in the group through conversion of government-held preferred shares to common equity.

The US Treasury currently holds about 45-billion-dollars worth of preferred stock it purchased through 2 capital
injections last year.
