Greece to cut bank rescue fund managers' pay by 40 percent

Cash-strapped Greece will cut the pay of bank bailout fund executives by 40 percent because their salaries are a "provocation" during a time of austerity cuts elsewhere, the finance ministry said on Friday.

The annual salary for the HFSF's CEO is currently set at 215,000 euros while that of the board chairman is 175,000 euros, a fund official said.
