Barclaysneeds a “new culture”, Sir Mervyn King, Bank of England governor, told members of parliament this week. They also heard the Financial Services Authority’s top prudential regulator, Andrew Bailey, accuse the bank of “a culture of gaming – and gaming us”. This broadening of the fallout after Barclays admitted to misreporting key interest rates, from specific misdemeanours to corporate culture, is a well-timed warning.
英国央行(BoE)行长默文•金爵士(Sir Mervyn King)最近向国会议员们表示,巴克莱(Barclays)需要一种“新的文化”。英国金融服务管理局(FSA)负责审慎监管的最高官员安德鲁•贝利(Andrew Bailey)也向议员们表示,巴克莱现有的文化是“一种赌博文化——与我们大家对赌”。在巴克莱承认虚报关键利率报价之后,这件事开始冲击到方方面面,从具体的不检点行为到企业文化。这对我们是一种警告,而且来得正是时候。
