FSA warns against multi-year bank bonuses - Times Online Posted: 10 Aug 2009 08:34 AM PDT Hector Sants, the chief executive of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has warned against a return to City bonus culture ahead of the publication of a strict new code of practice for banks on salaries and bonuses. The code follows a consultation launched in February and comes amid widespread fears that banks could resume the pay practices which were a key factor in undermining the financial system and tipping the economy into recession. So far this year many banks have been hiring aggressively amid a boom in lucrative investment banking - in some cases tempting recruits with guaranteed bonuses stretching over many years, against the recommendation of the FSA. Mr Sants told the BBC's Andrew Marr show: "We have made absolutely clear that we do not expect multi-year guarantees to be paid." He said: "We are publishing our code this week which will clearly lay out the bounds of how these bonuses are distributed." Banks will be obliged to "clearly articulate" their pay and bonus policies under the code and those who do not could be forced to hold more capital on their balance sheets, he said. "Our job is to make sure that banks in their bonus policies, their compensation policies, do not put these banks at risk as in the past," Mr Sants said. But he added that while bank pay policies "in aggregate" came under the FSA's remit, the question of individual payments to staff was "one primarily for the shareholders" rather than the regulator. The chief executive said the economy was "still very difficult" but added that the worst stages of the crisis which threatened some banks' very survival had passed. "From a financial stability point of view we are now comfortable that we now have a stable position," Mr Sants said.
