The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) says the rapid return to the City's bonus culture shows that real reform has been "very limited". The warnings echoed a speech by US President Barack Obama, who warned of complacency in the banking sector. Also, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that there was "unfinished business" with banks. Governments around the world subsequently had to pump trillions into their financial systems through bank bail-outs, central bank actions and huge stimulus plans to save their economies from collapse. But there is now concern that as the banks start to recover, they have not taken the necessary steps to prevent a repeat of the crisis.
