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.
Hundreds of City jobs at Deutsche Bank will be lost in 2005 and the UK asset management business could be sold under a €1.2 billion (£820 million) cost-cutting plan. Josef Ackermann, chief executive, said in Frankfurt that 3,300 more jobs would go in 2005 on top of the 1,920 in Germany announced in December 2004 . In addition, 1,200 would be ‘smart-sourced' from high-cost to low-cost locations such as eastern Europe and India, but also to cheaper cities in western Europe.
The bank refused to comment on reports that about 1,000 of the 6,400 redundancies would be in London but Mr Ackermann said 3,700 would be in back-office units and 2,700 in corporate and investment banking, and asset management, with the latter heavily based in the City.
