Inter IKEA will cut 850 jobs, representing 3% of its 27,500-person workforce, to lower costs as global consumer demand weakens. The move follows two consecutive years of declining sales and a leadership change late last year. Reducing the cost base is essential for the retailer to lower prices for inflation-hit shoppers.
