Layoffs Watch ’11: Deutsche Bank

The Germans are ‘considering’ kissing off 500. Non-Germans naturally

According to Dealbreaker the intensifying European sovereign debt crisis led to sustained uncertainties among market participants in the third quarter and thus to significantly reduced volumes and revenues in particular in the Corporate Banking & Securities (CB&S) Corporate Division. At the same time, the third quarter of 2011 has been negatively impacted by operating costs relating to an indirect tax position. As such, the third quarter 2011 result will come in significantly lower than expected for the CB&S business division.

In response to the significant and unabated slowdown in client activity, Deutsche Bank will consider additional cost controls beyond those already implemented as part of the recalibration of the Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB). This will lead to a reduction in headcount by around 500 positions in CB&S during Q4 2011 and Q1 2012, primarily outside Germany. Nice move guys….
