According to the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, the Hypo Alpe Adria Bank International group is to cut by 2013 2,100 of the currently 8,000 jobs in 13 central and south-eastern European countries. These redundancies have been ordered by the German Bayern Landesbank, which holds the majority of the shares of the Hypo group.
