British bank Barclays announced plans to cut 5,000 jobs by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies, marking a 5% reduction in its workforce. This move is part of the company's strategy to reduce costs and improve margins, according to its Chief Financial Officer, Anna Cross. Barclays has already conducted 1,000 layoffs, and the remaining 4,000 positions are expected to be completed before the end of the year.
The layoffs were disclosed during the presentation of results for the third quarter. For the first nine months of the year, Barclays reported a profit attributable of £5.837 billion (£6.887 billion), a 17% increase compared to the same period last year, driven by a 4% reduction in expenses and an 8% increase in revenues. Simultaneously, the bank initiated a share buyback program worth £500 million (£600 million).
