Dutch bank ABN Amro has announced to cut 250 jobs in its corporate and investment bank on a total workforce of 2,571 employees worldwide. The reorganisation is part of a cost saving plan including a reduction of the risk-weighted assets in the corporate and investment unit by €5 billion to €34 billion over two years. According to the chief-financial officer, the job cuts would fall across the bank’s operations in Europe, Asia and the USA. The bank is also closing its Dubai office as part of a restructuring of its diamonds and jewellery trading activities.
