Freedom: British Regulators Extend Clawback Rules for Bankers’ Pay
By CHAD BRAYJUNE 23, 2015
LONDON — Top executives and managers at banks operating in Britain could have their bonuses clawed back for up to 10 years after any finding of misconduct under new rules announced by British regulators on Tuesday.
The move extends a seven-year clawback period that one regulator, the Prudential Regulation Authority, introduced for so-called variable pay last year as part of tougher accountability rules.
The new rules announced by the authority, which is part of the Bank of England, and by another regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, are the latest effort by financial regulators in Europe to hold bankers accountable for improper actions that could play a role in precipitating future financial upheavals.
Under the new framework, senior managers, risk managers and others at banks will also be asked to defer more of their variable pay for a longer period, making it easier for regulators and financial institutions to recover bonuses if misconduct is uncovered.
Martin Wheatley, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, said the new rules were part of a wider set of initiatives to be introduced this summer in an effort to “embed an accountable culture” in the City of London, the traditional banking and financial services hub.
“This is a crucial step to rebuild public trust in financial services and allows firms and regulators to build long-term decision-making and effective risk management into people’s pay packets,” Mr. Wheatley said in a news release.
The new rules apply to banks, building societies and investment firms regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority, including British units of United States banks and other financial firms based outside Europe. They will apply to bonuses awarded for performance periods beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016.
The changes come as financial regulators across Europe have sought to restrict pay and have ramped up regulations in recent years to discourage the unnecessary taking of risks by banks and their employees in pursuit of profit.
European rules limit bankers’ bonuses to the equivalent of their annual salaries, or to two times their base salaries if the company’s shareholders approve it.
Some European nations have gone even further on pay. Dutch lawmakers enacted a cap on bonuses this year for employees in the banking, insurance and other finance sectors that limits variable pay to 20 percent of their fixed salaries. The Netherlands has also banned bonuses for executives at bailed-out banks.
A dispute over the pay of some senior executives at ABN Amro also forced the Dutch government to delay a decision on an initial public offering of the state-owned bank this year. The government later announced plans in May to proceed with an I.P.O., possibly in the fourth quarter.
Banks have moved to circumvent limits by introducing role-based remuneration and other payments. Those moves effectively bolster fixed wages to allow more flexibility for bigger bonuses.
In addition to the 10-year clawback period on bonuses, the new rules in Britain mean that senior managers will have to defer their variable pay for seven years after a bonus is accrued, while risk managers at regulated firms will have to do so for five years. Staff members who engage in activities that could have a “material impact” on the firm will have to defer their bonuses for three to five years.
The rules will also prohibit bonuses for nonexecutive directors and for the managers of companies that are receiving financial support from the government.
“Effective financial regulation involves creating appropriate incentives to encourage individuals to take greater responsibility for their actions,” said Andrew Bailey, the Prudential Regulation Authority’s chief executive and a deputy governor at the Bank of England.
“Our intention is that people in positions of responsibility are rewarded for behavior which fosters a culture of effective risk management and thus promotes the safety and soundness of individual institutions,” he added.
The regulators also said they would study further whether to require that buyout awards for executives who change companies be deferred or held in a form that makes it easier for a previous employer to reclaim them if misconduct is uncovered. LINK

The U.S. Needs to Recognize China's Currency Aspirations in the Latest IMF Review
ByJohn MasonFollow | 06/23/15 - 01:39 PM EDT
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There's an important opportunity this year to rework the global currency system, and the U.S. must make sure it takes part in the related discussions.
Ousmène Mandeng, a senior fellow at the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee, lays out this opportunity in a recent article in the Financial Times.
Here's what's happening. This year the International Monetary Fund this year is reviewing special drawing rights, which are foreign exchange reserves held by the IMF. Their value is based on a basket of four currencies: the dollar, the pound, the euro and the yen.
As Mandeng points out, countries can exchange SDRs for usable currencies to supplement their international reserve holdings.
The IMF reviews the composition of the basket of currencies every five years. What's important this time around is that there's a chance the Chinese currency, the renminbi (or yuan), gets added to the basket. Mandeng writes that the review this year can be more than just a perfunctory assessment of what should be included in the basket of currencies. He argues that this review provides the world with a chance to change the international monetary system.

SDRs were created in the 1970s in an attempt to provide greater liquidity to central banks in a world dominated by the greenback. The SDRs originally included 16 currencies.
The dollar achieved its dominant position after the World War II, a dominance that was codified at the Bretton Woods Conference, which defined the structure of international finance for the postwar world.
This dominance has been maintained up until now and allowed the U.S. to support its economy through a decline in the value of the dollar up until early 2014.
From time to time, various attempts have been made to make SDRs a rival to the dollar, but, as Mandeng notes, all these efforts have flopped.
What is different now, he adds, is that "Interest in the SDR has shifted significantly in large part due to China."
The tone of the review is different, Mandeng writes, because, "SDR valuation reviews are normally rather technical affairs. This time though, the introduction of additional currencies is firmly on the table. China has taken big steps to lobby for the inclusion of the renminbi."
Mandeng suggests that new SDR currencies should not be limited to the yuan, however. He says major emerging-market currencies, as well as the Canadian and Australian dollars, could also qualify.
