Nasdaq CEO Pushes for Regulation Shift Under New Administration

The new Trump administration offers an opportunity to rework regulation in the US to make it more attractive for companies to tap public markets, Nasdaq Inc. Chief Executive Officer Adena Friedman said.

“We are very excited to engage with the new administration to think about regulation differently,” Friedman said Wednesday in a Bloomberg Television interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “There is opportunity to work with the administration to rethink some of the levels of regulation and requirements for public companies themselves, and make sure that it is more balanced between being a public company and a private company.”
