Barclays boss Antony Jenkins waives bonus In a statement Mr Jenkins, who was in line for a bonus of around £2.75m, said: "The year just past was clearly a very difficult one for Barclays and its stakeholders, with multiple issues of our own making besetting the bank. I think it only right that I bear an appropriate degree of accountability for those matters and I have concluded that it would be wrong for me to receive a bonus for 2012 given those circumstances. Stuart Gulliver, chief executive of HSBC, has already forfeited part of his bonus in the wake of the $1.9bn settlement over US charges for money laundering on behalf of Mexican drug cartels. Stephen Hester, chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland, announced in the summer he would take his 2012 bonus, which could have been £2.4m on top of his £1.2m salary, amid an IT glitch. Mr Hester has waived his bonus in three out of the four years he has been at the helm of the state-controlled bank. Mr Jenkins move piles pressure on Antonio Horta Osorio, chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, as the last remaining British bank boss in line for a 2012 bonus.
