Barclays has become the first UK bank to formally lift the cap on bankers’ bonuses originally imposed by the EU, opening the door for staff to receive 10 times their salaries in payouts.

The announcement was made through an internal memo to staff on Thursday, four months after shareholders at Barclays’ AGM approved the move to drop the measure, which previously limited bonuses to two times bankers’ salaries.

All the major UK lenders, including Barclays, Lloyds and HSBC, are in the process of lifting the cap – one of the key reforms introduced by the EU following the 2007-08 financial crisis – after Britain’s financial regulators scrapped the restriction last year.

They had already put the change to shareholder votes at their AGMs in April and May, but have been deciding on the maximum ratios to offer staff. Barclays has followed the US bank JP Morgan by allowingup to 10 times salary.

"The BoE may have cut rates too soon."

So the US markets are extremely volatile because the FED have not cut rates, yet the UK markets are volatile because the BoE have cut rates? Markets being manipulated here?

Skier1......."Citibank this week has downgraded LLOY to (effectively) a sell"

It is not effectively a sell. They specifically said neutral, which is NOT a sell rating. And they are also maintaining an “overweight” rating for the UK banking sector overall.

"Just sold 2.8m Lloyds will get back in October if all the bad market news are out."

Large increase in the number of shares from 20th May? On the 20th May you said you had 2,290,000 Lloyds shares?

"I have £42k divi being paid tomorrow on 2,290,000 Lloyds shares"

Brixton......if you had bought Lloyds shares at 42p instead of the NS&I Bond you would still have had a

capital gain of around 25% after selling your Lloyds shares today, plus the dividends.
