Deutsche Bank has announced that it will reduce its workforce by 3,500 workers as part of a bigger plan to enhance operational efficiency.
The German-based bank saw a significant 14% decline in net income amounting to €4.9 billion. It started a €2.5 billion operational efficiency initiative to tackle its financial problems.
The Bank Expects These Measures To Reduce About 3,500 Positions
By the end of last year, the total savings expected or achieved from efficiency measures that have been completed rose to €1.3 billion. About €900 million in savings has already been realized to date with around €350 million achieved in 2023 alone.
The bank believes that the remaining savings of the program, which is €1.6 billion, will come from measures relating to technology and infrastructure efficiencies. These measures include front-to-back process redesign to simplify workflow and automation, optimizing the bank’s German platform, improving the operating model, and application de-commissioning.
The bank stated that these efforts are expected to cut off about 3,500 roles, primarily in back-office areas that do not relate to customers.
Deutsche Bank Aims To Facilitate Trade Through Various Banking Operations
Deutsche Bank is a financial services company and an international investment bank in Germany. Founded in 1870, Deutsche Bank is a Barlin-based specialist bank for promoting German exports and financing foreign trade. It is dual-listed on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
It has subsequently contributed to the growth of Germany’s financial services firm, as it focused on offering finance to industrial users.
The bank adopted its statute on 22 January 1870, and it received its banking license from the Prussian government on 10 March 1870.
The company’s focus is to transact various banking businesses to facilitate and promote trade between Germany, other European nations, and international markets.
Before Deutsche Bank was founded, German exporters and importers were dependent upon French and British banking institutions in the global markets.
This dependence resulted in German bills being unknown in international trade, unpopular, and eventually faced higher discount rates than French or England bills.
Now, the bank has grown to become one of the largest banks in the world. The bank’s network covered 58 nations and was greatly positioned in Asia, the Americas, and Europe as of 2018.
It is a constituent of the DAX stock market index and is recognized as the largest German bank. Deutsche Bank holds the highest investment in DWS Group, contributing to combined assets valued at 2.2 trillion euros.
