Bank Bonuses May Turn Higher This Year

For the first time in four years, year-end bonuses for bankers in 2017 are set to grow over the prior year, according to consulting firm Johnson Associates Inc. Over all, incentive pay is expected to rise by 5% to 10%, Johnson’s survey found.

Alan Johnson, who runs Johnson Associates and helps banks design compensation programs, said that Washington’s shift toward a softer tone on banks is a big factor in their improving stock prices, which is in turn a big driver of bonuses.
