Nationwide's CEO Debbie Crosbie received an 88% pay increase to £4.7m, largely due to a new bonus scheme, while eligible staff get a 3.8% pay rise. The move raises governance concerns among critics, citing the lack of a binding member vote on her pay package and the society's democratic values.

Hong Kong's three-year baby bonus scheme has disbursed only 57.5 per cent of its HK$2.28 billion allocation as of February, with the programme ending in October. Twenty couples have each received HK$60,000 for having three children, while the city's registered birth rate in the first two months of 2026 dropped 20 per cent year-on-year.
