Barclays to cut bonuses for investment bankers
The rate at which bankers accrue annual bonuses is set to be more closely tied to performance, with accrual in the first quarter expected to be down by double digits compared with last year.

Shoppers unfazed by Brexit as UK retail sales jump
Retail sales “smashed expectations” in March as consumers continued to power the UK economy, despite a sharp rise in credit card defaults, official figures showed on Thursday. Retail revenues were up 1.1 per cent last month compared with February, much better than economists’ expectations of a fall of 0.3 per cent, the Office for National Statistics said on Thursday. The figures, which relate to the first three months of this year, raise questions over the sustainability of consumer spending.

Activist investor Bramson launches major broadside at Barclays bosses
The row between Barclays and Ed Bramson ramped up another notch on monday when the rebel investor attacked the make-up of the board and questioned the competence of incoming chairman Nigel Higgins. Bramson, a corporate raider who specialises in taking stakes in underperforming companies and agitating for change, is seeking a seat on the board as he pushes his plan for Barclays to ditch all or part of its investment bank. While the chances of him securing a seat are low — few investors have backed him — the continuing weakness of the Barclays share price is making him hard to ignore.
