Court Of Justice Of The European Union - Advocate General’s Opinion In Case C-507/13 - United Kingdom v Parliament And Council - Advocate General Jääskinen Considers That The EU Legislation Limiting The Ratio Of Bankers Bonuses Compared To Their Basic Salary Is Valid - Imposing A Fixed Ratio For Bonuses In Relation To The Basic Salary Does Not Limit The Total Amount Of Pay

Date 20/11/2014

Following the global financial crisis in 2008, the EU adopted a broad range of measures designed to enhance the regulation and stability of its financial institutions. During the discussions surrounding the adoption of these measures it was considered that the design of the remuneration schemes within these institutions was one of the major contributors to the crisis. Often involving sizeable bonus pay-outs in comparison to salaries, this encouraged employees to engage in excessive risk taking in order to share in the banks’ short term profits, but not in the cost of their failures which, in the most serious cases, were borne by the taxpayer. The ”Capital Requirements”package of legislation adopted in 2013 by the Council and the Parliament (known as the CRD IV Package and composed of a Directive1and a Regulation2) therefore included a series of measures to regulate this matter.

Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo At The Clearing House 2014 Annual Conference, New York, New York November 20, 2014

Date 20/11/2014

The financial turbulence of 2008 was largely defined by the dangers of runs--realized, incipient, and feared. Facing deep uncertainty about the condition of counterparties and the value of assets serving as collateral, many funding markets ground to a halt, as investors refused to offer new short-term lending or even to roll over existing repos and similar extensions of credit. In the first instance, at least, this was a liquidity crisis. Its fast-moving dynamic was very different from that of the savings and loan crisis or the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s. The phenomenon of runs instead recalled a more distant banking crisis--that of the 1930s.
