UBS CEO cautions of tough job choices post Credit Suisse acquisition.

UBS CEO Warns of Job Cuts Following Credit Suisse Takeover

“We won’t be able to create, short term, job opportunities for everybody. Synergies is part of the story. We need to take a serious look at the cost base of the standalone and combined organisations and create a sustainable outcome. It will be painful.”

UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti has issued a warning about job cuts following the takeover of Credit Suisse. Switzerland’s no. 1 bank agreed to take over its smaller Swiss rival in March as part of a rescue orchestrated by Swiss authorities. Ermotti hopes the deal can be closed in the next few days, but he has also warned that painful decisions about job cuts will need to be made.
