Deutsche Bank says to slash 18,000 jobs by 2022

FRANKFURT AM MAIN (AFP) – Germany’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank said Sunday (July 7) it would cut 18,000 jobs – around one in five of its workforce – by 2022, as it launched yet another round of restructuring after years floundering with weak performance and legal woes.

Restructuring would include “a workforce reduction” of approximately 18,000 employees to “around 74,000 employees by 2022”, Deutsche said in a statement, adding that the layoffs would contribute to reducing annual costs by six billion euros (S$9.16 billion) over the same period.

Deutsche Bank to Cut Workforce by About 18,000 Jobs by 2022

In this article

Deutsche Bank AG will cut about 18,000 jobs by 2022 as the troubled German lender retreats from equities sales and trading and sets up a bad bank.

The lender expects restructuring charges of 7.4 billion euros ($8.3 billion) through 2022 to pay for the radical overhaul and will shelve the dividend this year and next, according to a statement on Sunday.

The scale of the revamp underscores the failed turnarounds by Sewing and his predecessors to solve the fundamental problem: costs were too high and revenue too low. After government-brokered merger talks with Commerzbank AG collapsed in April, the CEO had few other options to bolster market confidence.

President Donald Trump Tweetstorm – The Sunday Edition

President Donald Trump is already on the 2020 stump, devoting his early Sunday tweetstorm to partisan attacks on his arch foes, the “Dems” and Sleepy Joe Biden.

The Commander-in-Tweet noted Biden’s recent statement on his past associations with segregationists in Congress, and the hoped-for support by his opponents for tactics that would drive down prescription drug pricing.

The day is young, so the President will undoubtedly return for more later in the day.

The tweetstorm so far:

Deutsche Bank to slash 18,000 jobs, exit trading, in ‘most fundamental transformation’ in decades, says CEO

Germany’s struggling Deutsche Bank says it will cut 18,000 jobs by 2022 in a sweeping restructuring aimed at restoring consistent profitability and improving returns to its shareholders.

The Frankfurt-headquartered bank said Sunday it would drop its stock sales and trading unit as part of a plan to exit more volatile investment banking activities.

It says it will also bundle 74 billion euros of assets, or $83 billion, into a separate unit for disposal, freeing capital reserves to pay for the restructuring.

The troubled lender also said it would sell its electronic equities and prime finance businesses to Paris-based bank BNP Paribas BNP, +1.12% according to Financial News’s Paul Clarke.

“Today we have announced the most fundamental transformation of Deutsche Bank in decades,” wrote Christian Sewing, chief executive officer at Deutsche Bank, in a written statement.

The job cuts would reduce the workforce to 74,000. The restructuring intends to take out 6 billion euros in costs.
