UK Banks New Regulations Could Cost Jobs
Posted On 19 Mar 2012
Job losses loom in Britain’s banks even though the five big banks have made profits of £20bn last year.
However the combined profits at Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, RBS and Standard Chartered fell 13% in 2011. The payment protection insurance compensation punched a £6bn holes in profits and even more pressure because of the new regulation.
