G20 - Part VIII: a cap on compensation?
By Denis on Tuesday 15 September 2009, 23:20
In spite of the outrage, limiting compensation for bankers will be hard. The question is: on which ground do you select the population having compensation cap vs. the population not having them? This is not just a pedantic question.

G20 - Part VII: reforming capital requirements
By Denis on Sunday 13 September 2009, 08:23
Increasing the capital requirements for banks seems a good idea and is favoured by both the U.S. and the U.K. It might be laughable, given "Basel II" is not applied hence previous improvements to capital rules have not been reality-checked yet. The main worry though simply comes from the fact that changing the rules is riskier than it seems.

G20 summit - Part V
By Denis on Wednesday 18 March 2009, 22:34

sommet du G20 - partie IV
By Denis on Wednesday 4 March 2009, 00:31
Réglementation saine? Plus de réglementation? Réforme des institutions? Le G20 a un problème sérieux: redonner confiance aux marchés par un changement de lois, quand les lois n'ont pas rempli leur rôle.

Compensation in financial services (II)
By Denis on Wednesday 28 January 2009, 21:49
