Terminations/Cost Cutting

Deutsche Bank Closes U.S. Swaps-Clearing Business

February 9, 2017

Deutsche Bank has shut down its U.S. swaps-clearing business, effective immediately. The move, effective immediately, is part of the company’s broad restructuring aimed at simplifying operations and pulling back from some that are too costly under stiffer capital rules. Deutsche Bank had slid to 13th place among banks in that clearing business.

 

This is also part of CEO John Cryan's plan to eliminate 9,000 jobs across the company to raise profitability and capital levels eroded by fines and other legal costs - including last week's announcement  to reduce headcount in the fixed-income division by as much as 6%, and by as much as 17% in equities.
