Retour sur un échec

Un article du Financial Times (“Why it is time to curb the madness of executive pay”, 9 mai 2016) de Patrick Jenkins revient sur les contestations entourant la rémunération des hauts-dirigeants.

 

Earlier last week, the FT revealed that Norway’s oil fund would start making an example of companies that overpaid their bosses. In the UK, the Investment Association has asked Nigel Wilson, chief executive of Legal & General, to lead a task force on a similar issue. On Sunday, in an online debate of the FT City Network — a panel of top-rank financiers — Mr Wilson complained that the current system of executive pay was “very obviously not fit for purpose”. Participants said this was bad for shareholders, but also morally bad for society given the widening gap between executive pay and average wages. It is about time the topic gained momentum. In the US, average pay for a top chief executive is more than 300 times median salaries, according to the Economic Policy Institute. In 1965, it was just 20 times. In the UK, that multiple is now 183 times, according to the High Pay Centre.
