In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each five words have been suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
The government is reportedly (6) down on chiefs of state-run banks and financial institutions for acts of wrongdoing. As a majority owner, it has the right to do. Those found guilty of malfeasance deserve exemplary punishment.
However, senior executives should not have to work with a Damocles’ sword of suspicion and threat of a CBI (7) hanging over their heads. Commercial decisions entail both loss and gain, and every loss-making decision is not suspect. Often, the CBI launches a preliminary probe for every absurd conjecture brought to its attention, with scant understanding of the working of finance.
Insulating banking decisions from those (8) do not know banking is a must. The right incentive structure is crucial to prevent corruption. Overhaul the (9) structure at state-owned banks to link large slices to profitability in the medium and the long term. Salaries of executives who take decisions — that expose banks to risk while offering chances to make profits — should be linked to how well their decisions evolve over time. Variable pay linked to performance over the medium term should form part of their remuneration.
A larger slice must be in the form of stock options. Here, banks can take a page from state-owned Canadian pension funds that pay a decent basic salary, an attractive yearly bonus and a liberal long-term performance bonus that accounts for the largest slice of the payout. However, with liberal incentives, the case to claw back compensation is compelling, when the deficiency in their tenure is detected later. (10) in the decision-making process to sanction a loan is a must. The discussions should be recorded to hold executives to account. Functional autonomy must go hand in hand with accountability.
