EU countries consider reforms to cap banker bonuses
Bankers' bonuses could be capped under plans to be examined by EU countries this week, Reuters reports.
Reuters says: “The proposals, part of a drive to implement so-called Basel III rules aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2007-09 crisis, would cap banker bonuses at the level of their salaries to stop huge pay-outs from encouraging excessive risk-taking. However, bigger bonuses - up to twice the banker's salary - would be possible if shareholders agreed, according to an internal document obtained by Reuters.”
