Van Zanten comic for the economist magazine ESB. Lead times between my deadline and publication date make it very difficult to go into actual questions like the developments in Greece… unfortunately. My translation: 1) VZ: The salaries of bankers are going way too far! 2) VZ) Salary rises go from 13% for subtop bankers to 30% for a CEO. That is 13 to 30 times the inflation rate! 3) Banker: There we go again! You have to understand that we are fighting for top talents on an international market… 4) Banker: … and then you’ll see that salary rises are lagging far behind inflation figures in Venezuela.
(Note: figures are based on salary figures of three large banks – Rabobank, ABN AMRO and ING – in the Netherlands and dutch inflation figures.)
Van Zanten-strip voor het economische blad ESB. Doorlooptijd tussen het maken van de strip en de publicatiedatum van het blad maken het lastig om in te gaan op aktualiteiten, zoals de situatie in Griekenland…helaas.
(Opmerking: de cijfers zijn gebaseerd op salariscijfers van drie grote banken – Rabobank, ABN AMRO en ING – en Nderlandse inflatiecijfers.)
