European regulators have contributed to their banks’ decline, in two ways. First, they are specifying how much banks can pay in bonuses relative to base pay. Second, they are trying to force banks to hold more capital and to make it easier to allow them to fail by, for instance, separating their retail deposits from their wholesale businesses.
The first approach is foolish. It will drive up the fixed costs of Europe’s banks and reduce their flexibility to cut expenses in downturns (低迷时期). They will therefore struggle to compete in America or fast-growing Asian markets with foreign rivals that have the freedom to pay the going rate. The second approach is sensible. Switzerland and Britain are making progress in ending the implicit taxpayer subsidy that supports banks that are too big to fail. The collapse of Ireland’s economy is warning enough of what happens when governments feel compelled to help out banks that weaken their economies.
Some European bankers argue that the continent needs investment-banking champions. Yet it is not obvious that European firms or taxpayers gain from having national banks that are good at packaging and selling American subprime loans (次级贷款). Indeed, it is American taxpayers and investors who should worry about the dominance of a few Wall Street firms. They bear the main risk of future bail-outs (紧急援助). They would benefit from greater competition in investment banking. IPO fees are much higher in America than elsewhere, mainly because the market is dominated by a few big investment banks.
Wall Street’s new titans say they are already penalised by new international rules that insist they have somewhat bigger capital buffers (缓冲) than smaller banks because they pose a greater risk to economies if they fail. Yet the huge economies of scale and implicit subsidies from being too big to fail more than offset (抵销) the cost of the buffers. Increasing the capital surcharges for big banks would do more for the stability of the financial system than the thicket of Dodd-Frank rules ever will. Five years on from the frightening summer of 2008, America’s big banks are back, and that is a good thing. But there are still things that could make Wall Street safer.
In the following paragraph, the author may ______.
选项
A、recall the economic depression in the year 2008
B、discuss the factors that make economy turn around
C、introduce America’s big banks that come back to life
D、suggest the things to do to prevent an economic crisis
答案
B
解析
该题问作者在接下来的一段中可能会讨论什么,所以我们定位到全文最后一句来解题:But there ale still things that could make Wall Street safer. 由此我们可以推断:作者接下来可能会讨论让华尔街更安全的因素。四个选项中,A和C这两项可以先排除。选项B,discuss the factors that make economy turn around(讨论可以让经济好转的因素)与之前我们推断的“让华尔街更安全的因素”比较接近,故该项为答案。而选项D的“prevent an economic crisis(预防经济危机)”无论从原文还是常理都难以找到依据,故该题答案为选项B。
