Spanish government Ministers on Friday approved a decree intending to regulate bonuses paid within the banking sector, which played a huge part in the decline of the world economy over recent years.
The decree involves a European Commission directive that attempts to reduce risks in the financial sector. It also allows the Bank of Spain a greater level of supervision over bankers' salaries and incentives and also aims to regulate certain other practices of the Spanish banks and cajas.
The decree was approved after Brussels allowing the country 2 months to incorporate its directive into Spanish law. The EC says that it wants to tackle "perverse pay incentives by requiring banks and investment firms to have sound remuneration policies that do not encourage or reward excessive risk-taking."
