DAVOS, Switzerland Jan 22 (Reuters) - The CEO of German
insurer Allianz said on Wednesday that U.S. President
Donald Trump would be good for financial services and that he
expected fewer regulatory fines than under Joe Biden's
administration, which he called "extortion".
There was "a lot more extortion under Biden than we expect
under Trump," CEO Oliver Bate said on a panel at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, citing as an example U.S. Department of
Justice fines.
Bate also said that while Trump's government was likely to
be less popular internationally, he expected him to be more
supportive for the financial industry.
