由于国家金融体制处于危机边缘动荡,一些大银行和金融机构中的高级管理人员的补偿金计划就
受到密切关注.
银行家们过度冒险是金融危机的至关重要原因,在历史上也有类似情况.在这种情况下,一般是由
低息引起并造成持续的错觉,其实是一种债务泡沫经济.
抵押贷款人很乐意把大量资金借给无力偿还的人,就把贷款瓜分了,并沿这样的链条出售给下一
个金融机构,这些做法都在利用高科技证券业,结果,却增加了抵押资产的风险.
金融条例必须能应付这种能使银行下滑的,最不负责任的做法,以期扭转下一个危机,而这下一个危机很可能包括有各种类型的技术和资产.但值得审视补偿金计划的根本问题,因为那是眼前利
益,但却让银行家们不负责任的甘冒风险.
