Banks in London Devise Way Around Europe’s Bonus Rules

The New
York Times
By JENNY
ANDERSON and PETER EAVIS
A battle
over banker bonuses is building in this financial capital.
Since the
2008 crisis, regulators around the world have tried to rein in bonuses, worried
that big payouts encourage excessive risk-taking by bankers and traders. The
European Union has gone further than most, limiting bankers to bonuses equal to
one or two times their salaries.
But the
bank giants operating in London
— including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Barclays — are
seeking to outflank the new restrictions. Responding to the law, they are
structuring new pay packages that try to satisfy both their emboldened
regulators and their very expensive employees.

(Reuters) -
Some of the euro zone's lenders have no future and should be allowed to go
under if they fail a health check, the bloc's new banking supervisor told the
Financial Times, underscoring a tougher approach to banking oversight.
Daniele
Nouy told the newspaper that if any of the region's participating banks fail
the European Central Bank's comprehensive assessment then they could be wound
down, and that merging them in order to save them was not an option.
