"The Big Twenty" (G20) Treaty on the Limitation of bonuses bankers. About this sends a Belgian TV channel RTL. Recall that in the U.S., Pittsburgh is the summit of leading nations of the world. The main issue discussed at the meeting: future world economy, the struggle with the crisis and its consequences. In it, in particular, involved the presidents of France, Russia and the United States' Heads 20 major industrialized countries and countries with growing economies during a summit in Pittsburgh have reached agreement on the principle of limitation of premium paid in the financial sector, as evidenced by a draft final communique "- television reported. According to RTL, the Heads of State and Government of the G20 should come on Friday with the recommendation of "interest to restrict bonuses commensurate with Net banking income, when they pose a threat to a healthy level of capitalization." Summit began on Thursday. Plan to fight bonuses at the summit will be presented by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is fixated on this topic. Judging by the statements in the press, he would support Obama. This is not surprising that Americans still remember last year's history with the corporation Citigroup, which has received from the state 45 billion dollars and assessed their employees bonuses of $ 5.33 billion. Bankers who have brought the corporation to handle public money received from his allowance of $ 1 million per person. Already this year, the U.S. government had much to press the insurance company AIG, its executives not to squander money on bonuses of state. In the U.S., as a matter of contract was adopted several laws that limit the ability of American banks to pay bonuses. For example, now one of them with the premium charged tax - 90%. In other states, particularly in Britain and France, this theme is also very popular, but real steps so far taken little. Naturally, our country could not remain on the sidelines, at least in words. "This is a matter of companies (to pay bonuses or not). But if a company is public or state-owned company in whole or in significant part - I think that our esteemed managers, this company should samoogranichitsya, even if they have already decided on to pay themselves higher compensation. It is necessary to change these decisions "- said in early April, Dmitry Medvedev. During the president's statement was followed by requests the State Duma deputies. They were received very interesting answers. "The remuneration of the work of the year is one of the elements of pay and motivation," - said the Central Bank of Russia in the response letter. As a result of the year 2008 40 employees of the Bank of Russia "were received in the form of bonuses 66.1 million rubles, the members of the Board of Sberbank of Russia planted in the form of bonuses, benefits and compensation 933.6 mln. VTB Bank in 2008, paid board members of 533 million rubles., And Gazprombank - 1 005.9 million rubles. It is in these banks reduce a hundreds and hundreds of billions of rubles of state aid. In 2009, several banks have moderated their demands, but the payments still remain very large. For example, in 2009, "Bank VTB 24" as the premiums were paid 338.5 mln. In Rosselkhozbank - 71,7 mln. CBR has recently carried out more than once verbal intervention on the bonus issue. In particular, the possible introduction of restrictions on the bonus policy for bank officials said the director of the department of banking regulation and supervision of the Bank of Russia Alexey Simanovsky. According to him, in most countries, regulators have the right to raise the issue of non-compliance of any member of the board of directors to its status and require replacement. "We have no such rights, moreover, we have no direct rights against the executive head of the bank, that is to remove it yourself - complained Simanovsky. - For this we must raise the issue before the Board of Directors of the Bank." Director of Financial Policy Department, Ministry of Finance of Russia Alexey Savatyugin in an interview, said that Russia is studying the international practice of management bonus payments in the financial sector, but has no plans to impose legal restrictions. How long will the process of learning, he did not elaborate. "Of course, the state must control the bonus policy of banks and companies that have received public assistance. But why this topic to raise at the summit of G20?", - Vladimir surprised Osakovasky, Head of Strategic Planning and Development Bank YuniKreditAton. "This is a secondary issue. It is quite possible to decide on their own, initially to prescribe it in the agreements on state aid to or other structures. Overall, I am against some of the laws, administrative methods of control. In general, little idea of ??what you can do it, as You can make a commercial enterprise does not pay bonuses to their subordinates, to restrict them. This is the first thing. Secondly, we are talking about banks. And then there are companies, about which nothing is said. It may happen that only competent experts will leave the bank sector into other industries. It would be better if the leaders of the "Big twenty" will deal with more serious problems, not populism "- the expert concludes.
