Crise financeira

UBS ainda sangrando. Outros 7.500 empregados a serem demitidos.

US$1,8 bi de prejuízo no primeiro trimestre.

LONDON — UBS said on Wednesday that it plans to cut another 7,500 jobs after the Swiss bank lost about 2 billion Swiss francs, or $1.8 billion, in the first quarter and clients withdrew funds.

Oswald Grübel, who took over as chief executive in February, said he would reduce the number of employees worldwide to 67,500 in 2010 compared with the 75,000 positions his predecessor envisioned for the end of this year. To return UBS to profit, Mr. Grübel is shrinking the business and cutting costs by focusing on the bank’s core operations of wealth management, investment banking and asset management.
