Deutsche Bank is considering
shedding almost a quarter of its global workforce as it looks to honour
pledges to cut costs and streamline its operations.
Some 8,000 jobs could be cut, while the bank has already announced plans to hive off its consumer division PostBank which employs another 15,000 people.
It’s thought that the cuts would mostly affect administrative and technology posts.
Preliminary details of the plan were presented to supervisory board members at the weekend by CEO John Cryan, who took control of Germany’s biggest bank in July promising to tackle what he described as Deutsche Bank’s “swollen” cost base.
