Lloyd Blankfein, head of Goldman Sachs, also said that payouts guaranteed over a number of years should be banned.

His own firm was recently criticised for setting aside billions of dollars to be paid out in bonuses.

Many blame excessive bonuses for the short-term risk taking that helped bring about the financial crisis.

Mr Blankfein, one of Wall Street's best paid bankers, said "there is little justification1 for the payment of outsized discretionary(随意的,自由裁量的) compensation(补偿,赔偿) when a financial institution lost money for the year".

Speaking at a banking2 conference in Frankfurt, he added that "multi-year guaranteed employment contracts should be banned entirely3".

Dismay

Bonuses have come under increasing pressure in the fallout from the global economic downturn.

Governments across the world have been discussing ways to ensure that excessive payouts do not become commonplace again.

Last weekend, G20 finance ministers proposed that bonuses should be deferred4 to(听从) reward long-term success rather than short-term risk taking.

Some countries had pushed for formal caps on large payouts.

Earlier on Wednesday, Dutch banks adopted a new code of conduct, which will include capping bonuses and making sure they can be clawed back in the future.

Despite the push for action, there has been widespread dismay that many banks are again paying out generous bonuses.
