答疑：betty0925Britain's investment banking industry will come under the scrutiny of a government review. That's the pledge which at the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, the country's finance minister made in the past hour. It comes after Barclays was slapped with a record fine for trying to manipulate Libor, a key inter-bank lending rate which is used to establish the financial health of banks, but also sets borrowing cost for financial products around the world from derivatives to personal loans and mortgages. George Osborne, the chancellor here has been speaking in the British parliament. He told MPs the inquiry will look at conflicts of interest, culture and standards in the industry.
"The failure to regulate the banks in the boom years cost this country billions of pounds. The behaviour of some in the financial services industry has damaged the reputation of an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people and is vital to the economic prosperity of the country. We're changing the failed regulation, reforming the banks. Now it's time to deal with a culture that flourished in the age of irresponsibility and hold those who allowed it to flourish to account and I commend this statement to the House."英国财政大臣一小时前允诺，英国投行业将被政府从重从严审查。这是在巴克莱银行因妄图操纵伦敦银行间同业拆借利率而遭重罚之后宣布的，伦敦银行同业拆借利率旨在维护银行财务稳健，同时设定从金融衍生品到个人贷款、房贷等全球各类型金融产品的拆借成本。财政大臣乔治·奥斯本在英国议会上告诉下院议员们，这次调查主要涵盖该行业的利益冲突，文化背景和执行标准。
“景气年份里对银行业的规范不足导致英国损失了数十亿英镑。金融服务业中的某些行为已经损害了这个行业的信誉，而成千上万的民众服务于这个对国家经济繁荣至关重要的行业。我们正在修改失败的条规，重整银行业。现在是时候来着手处理这个在不顾道义责任的年月里盛行的文化，并且让那些对此听之任之的相关人等负起相应的责任，所以我向国会力荐这份声明。”
