Elimination of Limitations on Bankers’ Bonus Caps

Bankers' Bonus Caps
  • The removal of the bankers’ bonus cap is now confirmed as part of UK financial rule changes post-Brexit.
  • Initiated by former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, the move is aimed at making London more attractive for business.
  • The bonus cap, introduced in 2014 within the EU, was designed to limit excessive risk-taking in finance post-2008 crisis.
  • Some in the banking industry may not welcome the cap’s removal, as they’ve adjusted to higher basic salaries.
  • Regulators argue that they have alternative measures, such as bonus deferrals, to mitigate risks associated with higher bonuses.
