Dutch banking group ING has announced plans to slash 7,000 jobs in Belgium and the Netherlands as the company focuses on online services in the face of growing competition. The investment will help to expand services in Germany and to reach markets in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Spain. In contrast, about 1,250 ING and Record Bank agencies in Belgium are to close. Belgium has been rocked by a series of cutbacks and closures, notably the decision last month by US heavy equipment maker Caterpillar to close shut a plant with the loss of more than 2,000 jobs. In a Twitter message, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel offered "all my support to ING workers". He added: "The bank must assume all of its responsibilities. I am meeting the trade unions this afternoon." Photo by Robin Utrecht/ABACAPRESS.COM | Utrecht Robin/ABACAPRESS.COM/ABACA/PA Images

ING was more than twice subscribed for a €1.5bn trade from its holding company on Thursday — its first senior bond since confirming it as its resolution entity.
