Deutsche Bank CEO says firm to globalize bonus hit

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Deutsche Bank /quotes/comstock/13*!db/quotes/nls/db (DB 71.99, -0.73, -1.00%) /quotes/comstock/11e!fdbk (DE:DBK 50.06, -0.85, -1.67%) plans to "globalize" the pain from the U.K. tax on banker bonuses, CEO Josef Ackermann told the Financial Times in an interview. "If parts [of the cost of the tax] are paid out of the bonus pool, we would seek to globalize it. It would be unfair to treat the U.K. bankers differently."
