Barclays Bank is one of the world’s oldest banks. In June 2012, it was fined 290 million pounds (US$450 million) for attempting to manipulate the daily settings of London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor). The bank's chief executive, Bob Diamond, decided to give up his bonus as a result of the fine, and subsequently resigned after a wave of criticism against the bank.

Macroscope | How long before markets lose faith in the Taco effect?

If unconstitutional acts, unaffordable tax cuts and unreliable security pledges are chickening out, what does Trump standing firm look like?

Mr. Shangkong | Chinese banks in Hong Kong go quiet on last year's promised bonus

Is it too late to get your bonus in May? I'm talking about last year's bonus, not this year's. It is something that some Hong Kong-based staff at several mainland investment banks have been waiting anxiously for.

Barclays announced last week that it was cutting 14,000 jobs across the group globally.
