STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Finnish telecom gear group Nokia said on Thursday it would cut up to 14,000 jobs in a new cost reduction effort after third-quarter sales fell by a fifth, taken down by sales of next-generation 5G equipment.

Nokia and rival Ericsson have grappled with slowing demand for 5G equipment in countries such as the United States, trying to offset some of the weakness with higher sales to India, a low-margin market.
