Golden Networking hosts the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21 (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).
New York City, NY, USA (March 12, 2013) — According to The New York Times, the British government stood isolated last week on an important European Union issue Tuesday after finance ministers from elsewhere in the bloc rejected its effort to water down proposed limits on bankers’ bonuses.
The ministers, taking up rules provisionally approved last week by representatives of the European Parliament and member states, broadly agreed on Tuesday to cap bonuses at no more than the annual salary for bankers working in the 27-nation European Union and for those working for European-based banks worldwide. The ministers left the door open for further concessions that could permit some slightly higher bonuses. The bonus caps, which are subject to formal approval by a majority of member states, among other steps, are aimed at reining in the risky, but potentially high-reward, behavior that contributed to the financial crisis.
British officials and bankers have warned that the limits could make it harder to keep London, Europe’s main financial hub, competitive with financial centers like New York, Singapore and Hong Kong.
“This government needs to take a crash course in finding friends and influencing E.U. partners,” said Arlene McCarthy, a member of Britain’s Labour Party in the European Parliament, senior member of the chamber’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and speaker at the most influential high-frequency trading conference in the world, Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.HFT-Leaders-Forum.com) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” London, March 21. Ms. McCarthy said she supported the caps as the only way to rein in bankers. But she complained that the Cameron government had failed to win more favorable terms for the City “because of a kind of arrogance” toward its partners in the European Union.
