Citi's (C, Financial) CEO Jane Fraser has indicated that following Trump's victory, the bank's clients are actively planning new deals. Fraser highlighted a significant pent-up demand, particularly in the U.S., where mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are currently predominant.
Investors and analysts foresee a potential boom in M&A activity, driven by expectations that regulatory bodies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice may adopt a less stringent stance on deals compared to the current Biden administration.
