Barclays PLC intends to relieve about 100 senior jobs across its corporate and investment banks. The trimming exercise has begun in London as managing director and director positions are being affected. In London, a spokeswoman with the bank has declined to comment on planned retrenchment which happens to be first in 2020.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Kitei, Tim Johnston, and Anindya Das Gupta are leaving the bank as part of the ongoing exercise. The above-named officers hold a position like the head of securitized product sales for America, head of EMEA cash high-touch trading and sales, and head of treasury in India respectively. The affected senior officers declined to talk to the press. In the same vein, about three thousand jobs were cut in the second quarter of last year.

It was also reported that the bank’s reports of its full-year were released in February. The Chief Executive Officer Jes Staley focused on reducing bank’s high expenditure so as to reach its profitability targets. Meanwhile, the corporate and investment bank excels over Wall Street peers in the third quarter, as revenue from fixed-income and equities trading advanced. Nonetheless, Jes Staley said in October that the stance for next year is undeniably more demanding now than it appeared a year ago.
