Description
According to a press release from Carnegie, the 40 announced job losses are due to an action plan presented at the end of September 2008. The goal of the plan is to reduce the expenses to the same level as they were at the end of 2006, equivalent to a cost reduction by 10%. The 40 employees who are given notice work at Carnegie's headquarter in Stockholm. Carnegie is an investment banking advisor that operates mainly in the Nordic region. Carnegie has operations in securities broking, investment banking, asset management, and private banking, as well as in pension advice.
