British bank Barclays Plc has announced plans to cut 5,000 jobs, or about 5% of its total workforce, as part of a wider effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency using technology and artificial intelligence (AI). According to Barclays' third-quarter earnings statement, the bank is focusing on simplifying its organisation and making its operations more efficient. Barclays job cuts: 60% of layoffs to hit support teamsAbout 60% of the planned job cuts will affect support functions, including developers. Barclays had already cut around 1,000 jobs during the first six months of 2026. The remaining cuts are expected to take place before the end of the year. According to Bloomberg, Barclays employed around 93,000 people globally at the end of 2025.
巴克莱首席执行官C.S.文卡塔克里希南（CS Venkatakrishnan）表示，该行计划大规模使用AI，但强调该技术只是其降本战略的一个组成部分。“我们将大规模采用AI，”他说。“但AI是锦上添花，而非根本。”据彭博社报道，文卡塔克里希南是在与记者的电话会议上做出上述表态的。巴克莱第三季度业绩不及预期此番宣布之际，巴克莱银行于周四发布了第三季度财报。
Barclays Chief Executive Officer CS Venkatakrishnan said the bank plans to use AI on a large scale but stressed that the technology is only one part of its cost-cutting strategy. “We will employ AI at scale,” he said. “But AI is the icing on the cake, not the cake.”Venkatakrishnan made these remarks during a call with reporters, according to Bloomberg. Barclays Q3 results miss estimatesThe announcement came as Barclays reported its third-quarter earnings on Thursday.
该行业绩未达多项分析师预期，投资银行业务疲软抵消了其他一些领域的较强表现。该行债券交易员在该季度表现出现尤为明显的下滑，而其股票交易业务实现了强劲增长。
The bank's results missed several analyst estimates, with weakness in its investment banking business offsetting stronger performance in some other areas. The bank's bond traders recorded a particularly sharp decline in performance during the quarter, while its equities trading business delivered strong growth.eBay layoffs 2026: Company to cut 1,000 jobs in second round of workforce reductionsBarclays' revenue from fixed-income and currency trading, also known as FICC, fell 19% year on year to £1.01 billion ($1.4 billion) in the third quarter.
巴克莱第三季度固定收益与货币交易（即FICC）收入同比下降19%至10.1亿英镑（约14亿美元）。该结果低于彭博社汇总的分析师预期。
The result was below analysts' expectations compiled by Bloomberg.
据该行称，下降反映了利率和信贷市场客户活动减少，以及9月份因更广泛的经济环境而面临的进一步困难。巴克莱债券交易收入下降19%文卡塔克里希南在与记者的通话中，将投行固定收益、货币和商品部门的表现描述为“略令人失望”。债券交易的疲弱抵消了股票业务强劲表现的影响，该业务本季度收入大幅增长。巴克莱股票交易收入同比飙升47%，几乎与其固定收益和货币交易业务产生的10.1亿英镑相当。
According to the bank, the decline reflected lower client activity in interest-rate and credit markets, as well as further difficulties in September due to the broader economic environment. Barclays bond trading revenue falls 19%Venkatakrishnan described the investment bank's FICC performance as “somewhat disappointing” during a call with reporters. The weakness in bond trading reduced the impact of a strong performance in equities, where revenue increased significantly during the quarter. Barclays' equities trading revenue jumped 47% year on year, almost matching the £1.01 billion generated by its fixed-income and currency trading business.

Other major US banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, also reported declines in fixed-income trading revenue. Revenue at these banks' fixed-income desks fell by as much as 17% year on year as they dealt with the impact of rising interest rates.

According to Bloomberg, the latest job reductions form part of its broader effort to improve efficiency and manage spending.
截至9月的三个月内，该行削减成本2.01亿英镑。它计划在2026年最后一个季度进一步削减成本3亿英镑。这些额外节省是巴克莱银行持续降低开支、为投资腾出更多空间的努力的一部分。
