Deutsche Bank on Thursday announced plans to cut 35,000 jobs over the next two years as part of a sweeping overhaul under new co-chief executive John Cryan.

The lender's so-called 'Strategy 2020' includes plans to cut the number of clients served by its investment banking and markets business by 50%. The reductions will be focused on "higher operating risk countries."
