U.K. Bankers to Wait Seven Years for Bonuses
Keywords:
Britain's banks still owe the government 100 billion pounds ($158 billion) from the bailouts that followed the 2008 financial crisis. The incentivizing of risk by pay structures and bonuses was seen as a big part of the problem. LIBOR manipulation abuses by banks are still on regulators minds. The Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority, have set new rules to correct the problem. Earlier EU rules limited bonuses to 100% of salary. The new FCA rules require a 3 year period for traders and risk managers have to wait 5 years for performance awards in full. Top executives have a ten year wait to be certain claw back provisions do not go into effect. Andrey Bailey at the PRA says the rule is designed so "that people in positions of responsibility are rewarded for behaviour which fosters a culture of effective risk management and thus promotes the safety and soundness of individual institutions.

The Swiss Minder Initiative to restrict excessive executive pay and bonus
02/04/2009
The Minder Initiative to restrict excessive executive pay and bonuses gets the support of a large majority of Swiss voters in Feb. 2013. 68% of Swiss voters supported the 24 item Minder Initiative. Swiss voters were influenced by the 72 million franc exit package for Daniel Vassela which was cancelled after popular uproar, the signing package for Axel Weber, new chief at UBS bank, and the clear policy to restrict executive bonus and pay announced by the EU in Feb 2013. The austerity measures after banking crises in Spain, UK, Italy, and other European countries are also influencing public opinion.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
