This is how many graduates various different banks inform us they're hiring for 2012/2013
Unfortunately, our information isn't infallible. Nor is it necessarily entirely comparable, but we'll let you know what we've been told.
As part of our 2013-2013 Careers in Financial Markets Guide (unfortunately we only have the 2012 edition online for the moment), banks were asked to inform us how many graduate hires they plan to make in 2012-2013. We've listed their responses below. The bad news is that it's not always clear whether the figures provided are for the UK, EMEA, or the entire world.
There's also some obfuscation from the fact that the figures are for '2012/13': these may be last year's numbers.
Nevertheless, this is what we know (not all banks provided us with data):
