Nomura has axed around 30 dealmakers in the City as part of a broader move to trim its international investment bank as fees have slumped.

The Japanese bank has become the latest firm to react to a decline in dealmaking, rolling out job cuts across its operations in Europe, the US and Asia Pacific, according to people with knowledge of the plans.
