The Sunday Times reported the news.</p>    <p><strong><em>City A.M.</em></strong> approached Citi for comment.</p>    <p>The reported move comes after Barclays told staff last week that its so-called material risk-takers (MRTs) would be able to earn a bonus worth up to 10 times their base salary, up from a current ratio of 2:1.</p>      <p>JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have also ditched their existing limits in recent months, with top staff at the latter now eligible to earn up to 25 times their annual salary. Morgan Stanley is planning to set a new cap as well but has not revealed further details on its approach.</p>    <p>UK financial regulators announced last October they would remove the requirement for banks to cap variable pay at 100 per cent of base salary for MRTs, or up to 200 per cent with shareholder approval.</p>    <p>The cap was introduced in 2014 by the EU as part of efforts to limit excessive risk-taking following the financial crisis.</p>    <p>Big banks responded to the EU’s limit with so-called role-based allowances – de facto bonuses that gave MRTs a higher proportion of fixed pay.</p>      <p>UK regulators grew concerned that this change could make it more difficult for banks to rein in costs during periods of weaker financial performance.</p>    <p>Banks still face other measures to ensure their pay policies do not reward risk-taking, including the Financial Conduct Authority’s remuneration code.</p>            </div>

<p>花旗已经加入其他华尔街银行，取消了对其伦敦高级员工实施的欧盟规定的奖金上限。该上限于 2014 年引入，旨在限制过度的风险承担。巴克莱、摩根大通和高盛也取消了他们的限制，而摩根士丹利计划设定一个新的上限。英国监管机构取消了银行对重大风险承担者的可变薪酬设定为基本工资的 100% 的要求。金融行为监管局的薪酬规定确保薪酬政策不会鼓励风险承担</p>

花旗成为最新一家取消英国奖金上限的华尔街银行
