| Banks 'should pay smaller bonuses' |
英首相号召银行缩减奖金 |
| British Prime Minister David Cameron has called on banks to pay smaller bonuses this year, BBC reports. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr's show he said banks should be more "socially responsible." The Royal Bank of Scotland, which is majority-owned by taxpayers, should not be "leading the way" on bonuses but should be a "back marker," he said. There have been unconfirmed reports that RBS's chief executive, Stephen Hester, is to get a substantial bonus for his work in 2010. The Sunday Telegraph reported that RBS's board is poised to award Hester a bonus of ￡2.5 million at their meeting next month. |
英国广播公司消息，英国首相大卫•卡梅伦已经号召银行今年缩减奖金的规模。在参加该公司的安德鲁•马尔访谈时，卡梅伦说，银行应该肩负起更多的社会责任。他还说，苏格兰皇家银行是一家纳税人拥有多数股权的银行，不应该成为发放巨额奖金的榜样，而应该成为一名“落后者”。此前有未经证实的媒体报道称，苏格兰皇家银行的首席执行官史蒂芬•赫斯特因为2010年的出色工作将得到一笔异常丰厚的奖金。英国《星期日电讯报》的消息称，苏格兰皇家银行董事会已经准备在下个月的例会上发放250万欧元（约合2千万人民币）的奖金给赫斯特。
