HONG KONG (Reuters) – Around 80% of Hong Kong-based investment banking staff at Credit Suisse will be laid off and the cuts will start from this week, two people with knowledge of the matter said, as part of the bank’s integration with UBS Group.
Only about 20 bankers will likely be spared the cuts that will impact Credit Suisse’s 100-people strong investment banking team based in the territory, the people said, declining to be identified as the discussions on the matter were private.
Hong Kong makes up Credit Suisse’s biggest share of investment bankers in Asia.
The cuts come after UBS closed a Swiss government-backed deal to buy Credit Suisse in June. Since the deal was announced, UBS has made clear it will reduce risk in Credit Suisse’s investment banking operation.
Credit Suisse and UBS declined to comment.
