Troubled Swiss bank, Credit Suisse has revealed a loss of CHF 4bn for the last quarter and says it will shed thousands of jobs over the next few years.
At a press conference this morning, the bank says it plans to make CHF 2.5bn worth of savings by 2025. That’s up from initial estimates of around a billion.
The bank’s chairman, Axel Lehmann is admitting the bank has been unfocussed in recent years.
2,700 jobs will go this year – but 9,000 over the next three years.
The bank hopes most of the losses can be through natural wastage – retirements and resignations.
