One-third of London finance workers expect higher bonus

LONDON: More than a third of London’s finance staff expect a higher bonus for 2015 than the previous year, a recruitment company said, even as lenders from Barclays Plc to Deutsche Bank AG struggle to boost revenue.

Almost two-thirds of employees in the City, London’s financial district, expect to receive a bonus for last year, according to London-based recruitment firm Astbury Marsden, which surveyed more than 1,000 employees across firms including banks, investment managers, building societies and trade exchanges.
