SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc. (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the top mergers and acquisitions adviser in Brazil this year, has almost matched the volume of deals it advised on in 2006 and the number of transactions in the works may double, the country head of its investment banking unit said. Citigroup has worked on 19 takeovers so far in 2007 totaling about $15 billion, close to its volume last year, said Ricardo Lacerda, head of Brazil investment banking. http://www.reuters.com/article/innovationNews/idUSN0737369620070807?sp=true
