Royal Bank of Scotland is to cut 3,000 jobs worldwide in the next few weeks as the impact of the credit crunch starts to bite.
According to a BBC report, the jobs will go at the company’s global banking and markets divisions, but its retail operations, including its NatWest bank subsidiary and Coutts & Co, will be unaffected.
RBS, which 170,000 staff globally, including 104,000 in Britain, would not confirm the cuts. However, earlier this month, RBS warned it faced more write-downs and rising bad debts this quarter, which could drag it to its first ever full-year loss this year.
