ALLISTER AUGUSTIN ABN AMRO
“It’s good that he’s addressed issues in banking, but it’s counterproductive not to give a solution to the problem. A lot of people are saying that it all very well for him to criticise, when he has already made his money from banking.”

TONY COTTRELL ALLIANZ
“He’s entitled to get on with his job. He’s not supposed to be cuddling up to the City, it’s his job to offer criticism. People say banks and regulators were too cosy, so if he’s trying to change that then fair enough.”

BÖRJE FORS COOP NORDEN
“He’s entitled to get on with his job. He’s not supposed to be cuddling up to the City, it’s his job to offer criticism. People say banks and regulators were too cosy, so if he’s trying to change that then fair enough.”
