Barclays is cutting 7000 jobs from its investment bank (one quarter of the
staff) and moving over half its investment banking-related assets into a bad
bank. Barclays’ focus will be the U.K. and
the U.S. Higher capital requirements and
more deferred pay put at a disadvantage, they say, UK banks compared to those
in France, Germany, and the U.S. Wasn't
the U.K. supposed to benefit from banking restrictions on the continent? The banking sector worldwide is in secular decline
as debt/GDP shrinks. According to the
FT, Deutsche and the Wall Street players will be the only bulge bracket banks
left. Where does this leave London and
Paris?
