HONG KONG/BEIJING, Aug 11 - Shen Minggao, chief economist for Chinese magazine Caijing, will rejoin his former employer Citigroup to cover macroeconomic research in the Greater China region, according to an internal memo.

Shen's new title at Citigroup will be chief economist for Greater China, helping to coordinate macroeconomic analysis and research in mainland China, Hong Kong and self-ruled Taiwan, the memo shows.

Shen's last job at Citigroup was Beijing-based senior China economist until July 2008, when he left the U.S. bank to join Caijing as chief economist for the leading Chinese-language political and business magazine.
