عنوان درس: درخواست تغییر سیستم بانکداری بریتانیا

به گزارش گوش بدهيد

The worst banking and economic crisis since the 1930s was caused in large part by banks' recklessness, and this recklessness wasn't prevented by the non-executive directors of banks, or their shareholders. And what's more, the dangerous gambling was encouraged by the manner in which bank executives were paid.

A Treasury-sponsored report has today made recommendations to turn shareholders into more involved owners, who would be more likely to say "enough and no more" when banks are borrowing and lending too much.

Other proposals would see non-executives better trained, working more hours and more likely to challenge the executives. As for the bonuses of bankers, including those below board level, they'd be subject to more scrutiny, with those notorious bonuses only paid out after years have elapsed, once it's clear that their deals aren't toxic.
