Trump’s pro-business approach is anticipated to ease regulatory pressures seen during the Biden administration, executives from banks and private equity firms stated. They expect less government intervention, broader deregulation, and tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy.

In particular, a softer stance on antitrust issues and banking regulations, as well as more favorable conditions for cryptocurrencies, could enhance corporate profits and stimulate mergers and acquisitions, according to Euan Rellie, co-founder and managing partner at BDA Partners.

However, optimism is tempered by concerns over potential policy unpredictability, trade tariffs, increased national debt, and possible restrictions on visa programs. Some bankers worry that managing these risks will be challenging, with potential impacts on market stability and deal-making.
