 April 17 (Reuters) - Merrill Lynch (MER.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday it had hired a
team of four private bankers from Citigroup (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research), who will be based in
Singapore and look for business from Indonesian billionaires.

 Financial companies around the globe have scrambled to raise capital to
offset massive write-offs. Since the beginning of the credit crunch, companies
have raised nearly $181.6 billion of new capital, according to a Lehman
Brothers report released early this month.

 Below are the 14 largest capital infusions announced by financial
