European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The fourth biggest lender in Greece, Alpha Bank has announced the launch of a voluntary redundancy scheme offer in a bid to cut its workforce by 15-20pc. About 2,000 jobs are to be lost. As reported, the restructuring is also due to a need to rationalise staff numbers after the merge of Emporiki Bank.
Updated, 06-10-2014: As reported, 2,200 people will participate in the voluntary redundancy scheme.
