MILAN (Reuters) - UniCredit’s German arm is set to take a significant portion of the around 3,000 voluntary redundancies expected under the Italian bank’s new business plan, a person close to the matter said.
Bloomberg News reported earlier on Friday half of the expected job cuts would hit the group’s German operations.
UniCredit will unveil a new business plan on Dec. 9.
Sources familiar with matter said on Wednesday Italy's second biggest bank is considering cutting around 3.4% of its workforce through voluntary departures under the new strategic plan.
Germany accounted for 16% of Unicredit (MI:CRDI)'s total employees as of September 30.
UniCredit has approved 22,000 job cuts since 2016 under two previous plans with Italy, which account for 44% of the workforce, taking the bulk of the layoffs given its relative weight within the group.
