RBS seen axing 7,000 jobs
LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland will this week start the integration of ABN AMRO's investment bank in a move likely to trigger the loss of about 7,000 jobs out of a combined total of 28,000, the Financial Times said.

RBS was not immediately available for comment.
