Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers spoke to ANZ Group Holdings Ltd.’s boss Nuno Matos on Tuesday about the bank’s plan to cut thousands of jobs, the Australian reported.
Chalmers was seeking clarification on the scale of the shake-up at Australia’s second-largest bank by assets, the newspaper said, without saying where it got the information. The government is concerned about the rising job losses in the finance sector, according to the Australian.
