PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The U.S. banking system remains well-positioned to help boost global growth and act as a steward for existing and new markets, while driving alignment with the values and policies that contribute to collective prosperity, remarked Bruce Van Saun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Financial Group, while accepting the Foreign Policy Association’s 2024 FPA Medal.
