Dutch cooperative bank Rabobank plans additional 9,000 job cuts

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch lender Rabobank said on Wednesday it will trim 9,000 jobs, or 19 percent of its workforce, by 2018 and as it seeks to lift profits and prepare for tougher European banking guidelines.

The cuts come in addition to 3,000 positions the bank had already said it would trim by 2016.
