Para entender a relevância desse questionamento, segue uma conversa entre o CEO do UBS e um central banker, como retratado no artigo "UBS chief clashes with ex-BoE deputy governor over bankers’ pay":
Sir Paul Tucker (central banker at BoE): “If bankers were paid less, that would [help you to] cover your cost of capital. Why has pay not come down?”
Sergio Ermotti (CEO at UBS): “If you basically say banks should pay much less, and you allow other parts of the economy like big tech or shadow banking to pay whatever…it’s a competitive [market]…people made a choice to do good for society while also getting their desired level of compensation,” he said. “They are going to do something else.”
