Hungary
Hungary has had four consecutive plans of fiscal adjustment which started in 2006 and were implemented by three governments and included an IMF-EU rescue package (2008).
Austria
Austria’s austerity plan is to raise €1.17bn from tax increases and €1.6bn in public spending cuts. The objective is to return the public deficit below 3% of GDP by 2011.

Romania
Romania decided to adopt very strict austerity measures which have especially hit the public sector in order to receive a €20bn bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
France
The French Government announced an austerity plan that would involve €45bn in spending cuts over the next three years (€11bn per year which corresponds to 0.55% of GDP per year). Prime Minister Francois Fillon said the cuts were aimed at bringing France’s public deficit back down to the European Union’s limit of three percent of gross domestic product by 2013.
Iceland
The collapse of the Icelandic banks in October 2008 initiated a period of deep recession of the national economy. From the fiscal perspective it meant that the budget surpluses changed to deficits and on top of that the government took over large amounts of the new debt.
Greece
In May 2010 Greece agreed to receive a €110bn bailout from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union. Under the terms of that loan program, Greece must cut its budget deficit by 5.5% of gross domestic product in 2010 and aim for a deficit of 8.1% of GDP, but the latter is expected to be higher. To continue to receive the loan disbursements in 2011 Greece must narrow its budget gap further, to 7.6% of GDP.
Germany
An austerity package of €10bn was approved on the 27th of October 2010. The plan of the German government is to have a fiscal retrenchment of €80bn by 2014 broken down as follows €11.2bn in 2011, €18.6bn in 2012, €23.6bn in 2013 and €26.5bn in 2014. The aim is to have a deficit of 0.35% of nominal GDP and to keep the debt below 20% of GDP.

Finland
The situation in Finland is two-sided: on the one hand there have been some positive developments in tax changes and in social benefits; on the other hand, a “productivity program” is being implemented by the government which aims to reduce the number of public employees.
United Kingdom
To reduce the deficit, the Government intends to cut the amount it spends by at least £83bn (€98bn) by 2015 or around 14% of all public spending. There will be some tax rises but the major share of the savings will come from cuts.
Luxembourg
On 10 April 2010 the Luxembourg government proposed an austerity package which the unions refused. Following the mobilization of the unions before and after the summer, some of the austerity measures have been withdrawn with the agreement of 29th of September. However some inacceptable measures still remain.
Malta
The official position of the Maltese Government is that Malta did not have to resort to austerity measures to counterbalance the effects of the international financial crisis and the recession that ensued. However, several important cuts and reforms have been adopted.
Czech Republic
Using an emergency procedure, the Czech parliament approved an austerity package of measures that includes cuts in social benefits, public services and tax changes. The aim is to reduce the public deficit to 4.6% of Gross Domestic Product.
Spain
Madrid has promised European counterparts to cut its deficit to 6% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) next year, from 11.1% last year. The total austerity package proposes additional savings of €15bn between 2010 and 2011. The aim is to trim Spain’s budget deficit from 11.1% of gross domestic product last year to 9.3 % this year and get it down to 3% by 2013.
Portugal
The set of austerity measures adopted in Portugal include cuts in public employees’ salaries and in social benefits. Some tax changes have also been introduced which will primarily affect workers.
Ireland
To date 3 deflationary budgets, which have taken €14.5 billion out of the economy, have been approved. The Government says it needs to cut a further €15 billion over the next four years (for a total of €29.5bn which is equivalent to 19% of the country’s GDP), to meet the target of 3% of GDP by 2014. Meanwhile, Ireland is in its third year of recession and unemployment has more than tripled from 4.3% (end of 2006) to 13.9% today.
Italy
After having denied the reality of the economic crisis for months, in May 2010 the Italian government announced a budget bill of €24 billion in cuts and savings in public expenditure. This law, highly criticized by unions, should come into force in early December. Other laws regarding labour market reforms complete the pattern of measures.
Poland
The public debt [close to 55% of the GDP] and budget deficit are the foundation of savings strategy adopted by the government. Poland definitely was not hit by the crisis as hard as some of the western economies, but still there was a slowdown to only 1.7% GDP growth in 2009, and a moderate 3% in 2010 [forecast]

France
The French Government announced an austerity plan that would involve €45bn in spending cuts over the next three years (€11bn per year which corresponds to 0.55% of GDP per year). Prime Minister Francois Fillon said the cuts were aimed at bringing France’s public deficit back down to the European Union’s limit of three percent of gross domestic product by 2013.
Iceland
The collapse of the Icelandic banks in October 2008 initiated a period of deep recession of the national economy. From the fiscal perspective it meant that the budget surpluses changed to deficits and on top of that the government took over large amounts of the new debt.

Greece
In May 2010 Greece agreed to receive a €110bn bailout from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union. Under the terms of that loan program, Greece must cut its budget deficit by 5.5% of gross domestic product in 2010 and aim for a deficit of 8.1% of GDP, but the latter is expected to be higher. To continue to receive the loan disbursements in 2011 Greece must narrow its budget gap further, to 7.6% of GDP.
Germany
An austerity package of €10bn was approved on the 27th of October 2010. The plan of the German government is to have a fiscal retrenchment of €80bn by 2014 broken down as follows €11.2bn in 2011, €18.6bn in 2012, €23.6bn in 2013 and €26.5bn in 2014. The aim is to have a deficit of 0.35% of nominal GDP and to keep the debt below 20% of GDP.

Last year, managers of the 40 biggest French companies received an average salary of €3.06m. That’s 190 times the French minimum wage (Smic). 2.3 million French workers earned the minimum wage last year: i.e. €1,343.77 gross per month (€1,056 net).
23 December
Allied Irish Bank intended to pay €40m in bonuses to 2400 bankers, arguing that a 2008 court case was forcing them to do so. The bank then decided not to pay these bonuses, following a threat from the Irish government to withdraw the taxpayers’ money that is keeping the bank afloat. Now bank chiefs have admitted that new legal action could still be taken by some of those 2,400 executives who were supposed to receive the €40m windfall.

The attempt of some big British banks (Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Lloyds and Santander UK) to reach a ceasefire with the UK government looks likely to fail. The aim of the talks, called “Project Merlin”, is on the one hand, to convince the government not to levy new taxes on bonuses and, on the other hand, to show the public that banks are really making an effort to shoulder their part of the burden.

Finland
The situation in Finland is two-sided: on the one hand there have been some positive developments in tax changes and in social benefits; on the other hand, a “productivity program” is being implemented by the government which aims to reduce the number of public employees.
United Kingdom
To reduce the deficit, the Government intends to cut the amount it spends by at least £83bn (€98bn) by 2015 or around 14% of all public spending. There will be some tax rises but the major share of the savings will come from cuts.
21 December
Carlos Ghosn, current CEO and President of Renault-Nissan, officially receives €1.2m salary from Renault, but he also receives a complementary remuneration from Nissan of about €8m, giving him a total salary of €9,240,809 per year. This sum is 573 times the French minimum wage (€1,344.77 per month gross).
20 December
The Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) has adopted guidelines which it believes is a response to answers public anger about outrageous bankers’ bonuses. Under these guidelines, the cash part of bonuses will be restricted and the shares part will be increased, so as to discourage shortsighted and risk-taking behavior by bankers. However, Even if banks are none too happy with these measures, there are serious doubts that they will prevent risky investments being made and in any case, the size of the bonuses remain unaffected.
19 December
The Institute of Leadership & Management has conducted a survey among 3,300 UK managers. Answering the question “What the ideal Christmas present from your employer would be?”, 48% preferred a cash bonus. Just one in 10 opted for a promotion, with one in six choosing more training and development and 12% saying they would like more staff. Just 11% would prefer to have an increased budget.
18 December
In a survey conducted by eFinancialCareers.fr, almost half of the 627 financial professionals interviewed expect that their bonus for 2010 will be higher than last year. Indeed 14% of them expect that it will be 50% higher. Moreover, apart from bonuses, 56% of those surveyed saw their wages grow over the last 12 months. For 55% of them, the increase was less than or equal to 10%.

The bank, which is being kept alive with the support of billions of euro from the taxpayer, was planning to hand over €40m in bonuses to 2400 senior banking

Regrettably for them, workers across Europe are monitoring what is happening all around Europe on shameful bonuses in crisis and austerity times, and any attempt to minimize or get around the problem will not divert people’s attention.

Madrid has promised European counterparts to cut its deficit to 6% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) next year, from 11.1% last year. The total austerity package proposes additional savings of €15bn between 2010 and 2011. The aim is to trim Spain’s budget deficit from 11.1% of gross domestic product last year to 9.3 % this year and get it down to 3% by 2013.
8 December
British Banks assume that the City accounts for about 2.4% of the national economy and losing London’s position among the world’s pre-eminent financial capitals would come at an enormous cost. Banks are clearly saying that tighter caps on bonuses and higher taxes imposed by the government would potentially divert new investment elsewhere in the world. The real problem is that bankers’ pay, even capped or taxed, far exceeds the incomes of millions of people that are struggling on a daily base against unemployment, mortgage payments and cuts in public services.

The proposals made by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) appear to go beyond the G20 rules, introducing stricter thresholds on bonuses. The main concern of the French banks, in this regard, who dislike these proposals intently, is the risk of distorting competition between banks in Europe, Asia and the United States, thereby increasing the likelihood of outsourcing.
1st December: António Horta-Osório
António Horta-Osório, the head of Santander UK, is to become the new chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group on an £8m a year pay package . He will receive a basic pay of £1.035m, and an annual bonus of up to £2.33m. He will also be eligible for a payment of up to 420% of his salary, linked to targets that could see him collect about another £5m, bringing the total up to £8.3m (9.8m euro). This is happening in Lloyds, a bank that in 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the £37bn British government injection of public money in the banking system. This comes when thousands of people are losing their jobs at Lloyds.

The set of austerity measures adopted in Portugal include cuts in public employees’ salaries and in social benefits. Some tax changes have also been introduced which will primarily affect workers.
Ireland
To date 3 deflationary budgets, which have taken €14.5 billion out of the economy, have been approved. The Government says it needs to cut a further €15 billion over the next four years (for a total of €29.5bn which is equivalent to 19% of the country’s GDP), to meet the target of 3% of GDP by 2014. Meanwhile, Ireland is in its third year of recession and unemployment has more than tripled from 4.3% (end of 2006) to 13.9% today.
Italy
After having denied the reality of the economic crisis for months, in May 2010 the Italian government announced a budget bill of €24 billion in cuts and savings in public expenditure. This law, highly criticized by unions, should come into force in early December. Other laws regarding labour market reforms complete the pattern of measures.
Poland
The public debt [close to 55% of the GDP] and budget deficit are the foundation of savings strategy adopted by the government. Poland definitely was not hit by the crisis as hard as some of the western economies, but still there was a slowdown to only 1.7% GDP growth in 2009, and a moderate 3% in 2010 [forecast]
