A British labour union criticised Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) on Tuesday for cutting 6,000 jobs as part of a reorganisation that the lender said would actually create 2,000 posts overall. "This latest announcement will undoubtedly hit the morale of staff who have had to endure round after round of job cuts, branch closures and constant upheaval," said Rob MacGregor, national officer for the Unite union. In a separate statement, Lloyds confirmed it is creating 2,000 net new jobs to help it provide more digital banking products and services.

[$$] Barclays, Lloyds Fare Poorly in EU's Bank Stress Tests
PLC unexpectedly posted the worst results in a stress test of European banks Friday, with a key capital measure dropping close to what investors consider the bare minimum needed to withstand a hypothetical economic crash. The results will amplify investor attention on another round of tests by the Bank of England in December and come as British and European banks attempt to plan for the potential impact of Brexit even as the terms of Britain’s separation from the European Union remain unclear. The capital measure in question, called the common equity tier 1 ratio, dropped as low as 6% at Barclays during the 2018-20 period covered by the test, which featured an adverse scenario that included double-digit unemployment and falling asset prices over the three years.

Britain's Barclays, Lloyds shock in EU bank stress test
Britain's Barclays and Lloyds were the surprise laggards in a European Union bank health check on Friday, although none of the 48 lenders tested failed a major capital threshold. The EU's banking watchdog published results on Friday for its toughest "stress test" since 2009, when it began the exercise to identify capital holes and avoid any repeat of the government bailouts triggered by the 2008 financial crisis.

[$$] Barclays and Lloyds among worst performers in EU stress tests
Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group were among the worst performers in the EU’s banking stress tests, in a blow to the British lenders as they struggle to improve their profitability and deal with the potential fallout of Brexit. The results nevertheless found that the region’s top 48 banks had enough capital to withstand the worst-case Brexit scenarios. This included a severe recession that would leave the bloc’s economy 8.3 per cent smaller than it otherwise would have been.

[$$] Torrid year for UK banking shares
The data show that shares in the four largest UK-listed banks by market capitalisation have suffered during the past 12 months. Brexit-induced jitters have played a part in turning investors off Lloyds, RBS and Barclays, which have the biggest exposure to the fortunes of the UK economy. Meanwhile the threat of a raging trade war between China and the US has dented investor sentiment towards emerging markets, and in turn HSBC, which earned three-quarters of its underlying pre-tax profits from Asia during the first nine months of the year.

Reuters•18 days agoLandmark pensions ruling may cost Lloyds Banking Group $192 million
Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) must amend its pension schemes to equalise benefits for men and women following a court ruling that could cost the bank up to 150 million pounds ($191.97 million) and affect thousands of other companies. In a case closely watched by the government, Judge Paul Morgan ruled that Lloyds' pension trustee had a duty to amend the schemes to equalise treatment after three female members claimed discrimination, with women's pensions increasing at a slower rate than those of men in the schemes. The case affects around 230,000 members of the bank's pension schemes, but union BTU has said it could have implications for as many as 7.8 million people in thousands of other schemes across the country, with the cost of equalising all affected pensions put at up to 20 billion pounds.

[$$] Lloyds Banking to Pay Equal Pension for Women After Landmark Ruling
PLC to equalize pension benefits for men and women could have implications for thousands of other corporate pension plans, resulting in billions in additional costs. The court on Friday ruled that the British bank’s pension trustee has to amend a defined-benefit pension plan to retroactively increase payouts to address a dispute filed in 2016 by female claimants who pointed out that their pensions were increasing at a lower rate than those of their male counterparts. “The good news is that the issue has been resolved,” Mr. Scholefield said.

Lloyds Pension Bill After Ruling May Be Lower Than Some Warned
Judge Paul Morgan in London ruled that the trustee of the pension plan had a duty to amend the terms of the plan, saying that the issue has created uncertainties “for many years.” While the BTU union had initially estimated that the cost could top 500 million pounds ($640 million), after the ruling both the union and the bank put that figure at closer to 100 million pounds. Three female members of the pension plan had claimed they were discriminated against because their retirement payments increase at a lower rate than male colleagues. “The essential questions raised by this claim are likely to be the same for the very many contracted-out defined benefit occupational pension schemes that provide guaranteed minimum pensions,” Morgan said in a ruling Friday.

Lloyds Bank downplays Brexit fears as profits rise
Britain's Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) shrugged off fears of a chaotic, no-deal Brexit and pledged to keep pumping credit into the economy regardless of the outcome of negotiations between Brussels and London. The bank's finance chief George Culmer told reporters on Thursday that Lloyds remains hopeful that the two sides can secure a deal before Brexit day in March 2019, when the UK will undergo its biggest policy shift in four decades. Reuters this month reported that the Bank of England had laid out a contingency plan to ensure that banks such as Lloyds, Britain's biggest mortgage lender, do not suddenly slam the brakes on lending in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
