Deep dives
The Impact of Trump's Presidency on Banking Regulations
The election of Donald Trump as president is expected to result in a more favorable regulatory environment for banks, leading to increased optimism among financial institutions. Analysts anticipate that deregulatory efforts may accelerate, particularly with the Basel III endgame rule, which previously mandated higher capital requirements for the country's largest banks. Many believe that under Trump's administration, regulation will be relaxed, enabling banks to retain more capital, bolster buyback programs, and enhance overall profitability. This shift in regulations is seen as beneficial, particularly for major players like Citigroup and Wells Fargo, who stand to gain significantly from a lighter regulatory touch.
