Restructuring events
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.
Lloyds Banking Group has announced plans to cut a further 3,000 jobs from its workforce, and will close a further 200 branches. The bank which is partly owned by the British taxpayer made the announcement after announcing a rise in pre-tax profits of 101%. The job cuts are in addition to the 9,000 cuts announced in 2014. The latest cuts are said to be in response to customer preference for online banking. The bank stressed that the decision to cut these jobs was taken before the referendum on EU membership. The closures are expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
