ANZ Bank Considers Up to 5,000 Job Cuts Amid Restructure
ANZ, a big bank in Australia, is thinking about laying off up to 5,000 employees.
The bank's new boss, Nuno Matos, is making changes to how the bank works.
The cuts may include about 2,000 retail division jobs.
The bank is reviewing its business to make it better and will share more details soon.
The changes are partly to fix problems like mistakes with emails sent to staff earlier.
The bank is also trying to improve how it manages risks and its overall work environment.
McKinsey & Co.
is also reviewing the bank after Australian regulators added new requirements.
ANZ is considering cutting up to 5,000 jobs as part of a restructuring.
2,000 of the job cuts are likely to affect the retail division.
The bank is conducting a strategic review and will provide an update in mid-October.
The restructuring aims to address overlaps and improve risk management.
