Deutsche Bank is cutting 19 Jobs in Moscow

Deutsche Bank is cutting 30% of staff from its global markets division in Moscow where it has been the biggest and most successful bulge bracket bank during Russia’s capital markets boom.

Up to 30% of its Moscow-based global markets staff are expected to lose their jobs, double the proportion of employees being cut across Deutsche Bank’s global markets business as part of a worldwide redundancy programme.

Bankers working in sales, trading and research in Moscow were made redundant last week with more layoffs expected this week, according to two sources inside the bank.

One said: “We have been told 30% has been earmarked across the board.” The second said: “Ten of the research guys have gone.”

A Deutsche Bank spokesman in Moscow said the job losses represented 2% of its 950 workforce but declined to comment on potential job losses in other areas of the business.
