Barclays PLC (NYSE:BCS) is set to cut hundreds of jobs in its investment banking division as part of its annual review process, aiming to dismiss underperformers. This move follows a challenging year for dealmaking in the banking industry and is part of Barclays' strategy to focus on expanding its higher-returning consumer bank. The bank also plans to save costs and boost profitability by reducing up to 2,000 jobs. Despite a 3% year-over-year decrease in total income for Q4 FY23, Barclays is optimistic about its 2024 projections, including a notable NII for Barclays UK. Additionally, Barclays has increased the purchase price for certain cash tender offers.
