Finances other bosses??金融业的另一些大老板们Banks are reshuffling their leaders. Time for their supervisors to get their act together, too 银行界正在对他们的领导层进行洗牌。是时候该让他们的监管者也行动起来THE identity of the people who run the world’s banks is not just a matter for boards and shareholders. The credit crisis has shown that society has a stake in how well finance is run. So it is right that the comings and goings of bank bosses attract lots of attention. That process can look pretty messy—witness the botched succession process at HSBC and the bloodletting at UniCredit. Until, that is, you compare it with finance’s other big personnel issue: who runs the regulators.? ?? ? 并不是只有管理层和股东关心到底是哪些人在负责运营世界各大银行。本次次贷危机已经很清楚地表明，金融业的运行状况对于社会公众的利益是有影响的。由此，公众对于银行老总级别的人事变动颇为关注也是毋庸置疑的。在目睹了汇丰银行颇为不讲究的接班过程以及意大利联合信贷银行那场血雨腥风的高层权力争斗之后，你会发现银行业高层变动的过程看起来实在是相当混乱。不过要将此事与谁来管理监管者这一金融业另一重大人事事项相比，可就是小巫见大巫了。In America the Federal Reserve, whose responsibility for financial stability has expanded thanks to the Dodd-Frank reform act, is currently short of its full complement of governors pending confirmation hearings in the Senate. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a bank regulator, has been without a proper head since mid-August. Republican opposition to Elizabeth Warren, a law professor who has been a vocal critic of the banks, has stymied her chances of heading America’s new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; to avoid a confirmation battle she has been named an adviser on the agency’s launch. There is no word on who will head the Office of Financial Research, a new body which will help monitor systemic risks. The hiring process for the head of the new Federal Insurance Office has only just kicked off.? ?? ? 在美国，金融稳定是由美联储负责的。籍由Dodd-Frank改革法案，美联储的权力进行了扩张。目前，该机构尚未完成人事委任，使得参议员的人事确认听证会不得不暂缓。货币监管官这一银行业监管类职位从八月中旬到现在也没有找到一个合适的人选。Elizabeth Warren是一位法学教授，她一直以来都对银行业畅所欲言地发表批评。其共和党反对者让她失去了成为美国新任消费者金融保护管理局领导人的机会。为了避免注定要发生的一场混战，她被选为该局的顾问。为了监管系统性风险而新成立的金融研究部门还不知道将由谁来领导。联邦保险管理办公室主任一职的招聘程序也刚刚才开始。It is a similar st
