银行为避嫌禁止交易员使用聊天室

Several banks, including Barclays, Citi and Royal Bank of Scotland, have banned the use of most group chat rooms in moves that highlight how global probes into alleged benchmark manipulations are driving a radical reform of trading floors.

包括巴克莱(Barclays)、花旗银行(Citi)以及苏格兰皇家银行(Royal Bank of Scotland)在内的几家银行已经禁止大部分群聊天室的使用，此举突显了针对基准操纵指控的全球调查正如何推动交易厅的彻底改革。

Investigations into the Libor interbank lending rate manipulation scandal prompted RBS sometime last year to ban unmonitored chat rooms where traders used to discuss market topics with rivals, two people familiar with those measures said.

两位消息人士说，对伦敦银行同业拆借利率(Libor)操纵丑闻的调查，促使苏格兰皇家银行在去年某个时候禁止了非监控聊天室的使用。交易员曾利用此类聊天室与竞争对手讨论市场话题。

“The bank clamped down on this big time. I think we were even going slightly overboard on this,” one senior banker said.

一位高级银行家说：“银行在大力取缔聊天室。我认为我们甚至做得有点过火了。”

Citi two months ago banned traders’ chat rooms with multiple banks, restricting instant messages to conversations with traders at one bank at a time. Barclays, which like the other two banks declined to comment, made similar reforms last year. Executives at JPMorgan are also examining whether conversations on so-called “multi-dealer” chat rooms cannot be carried out bilaterally over the phone.
