China International Capital Corp (CICC) is cutting the base pay of onshore investment bankers by as much as 25%, three sources said, in a major effort to reduce costs amid volatile markets and Beijing's austerity drive. CICC didn't immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on Sunday. The salary cuts will affect more than 2,000 bankers, and come after one of the largest investment banks in China by headcount trimmed bankers' bonuses last year by up to 40%, as Reuters reported in April last year.
