Nomura to cut 1,000 jobs in London
5th December 2008
Japanese securities firm Nomura plans to cut nearly 1,000 jobs or nearly 20% of its staff in London, three months after acquiring parts of the collapsed American investment bank Lehman Brothers. |
In September 2008, Nomura acquired some Lehman Brothers businesses including 3,000 staff, mainly in equities and investment banking. Nomura's latest decision to cut jobs has been reportedly taken after a strategic review of the acquisition.
According to reports, Nomura plans to cut its staff by a fifth and plans to record annual profits of nearly GBP3.6 billion by 2011.
