美国一些最大银行的高层主管正与奥巴马总统进行会谈。预计，奥巴马总统将敦促银行业对消费者和小型企业提供更多贷款。
奥巴马批评那些在政府帮助下摆脱金融危机的银行，指责他们没有做出足够努力帮助美国经济复苏。
奥巴马预计还将要求银行不要阻碍金融体系操作的改革。部分专家指责就是这个金融体系的操作导致危机的因素。
代表银行界的负责人士说，与会的高层主管可能将提供解决金融和经济问题的不同方案。
与此同时，银行界龙头花旗集团星期一宣布，他们准备归还美国政府提供的200亿美元的紧急贷款。
Executives from some of the biggest U.S. banks are meeting with President Barack Obama, who is expected to urge them to make more loans to consumers and small businesses.
Mr. Obama has been critical of banks that got government help to survive the financial crisis, saying they have not done enough to help the economy in return.
He also is expected to ask the banks to stop trying to block efforts to reform the financial practices that some experts blame for sparking the financial crisis.
Officials representing the banking industry say the executives may offer some different ways to solve financial and economic problems.
Meanwhile, banking giant Citigroup announced Monday it is ready to repay $20 billion in emergency government loans.
