11:26 AM EST, 01/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nasdaq (NDAQ) Chief Executive Officer Adena Friedman expressed optimism over potential regulatory changes that could drive interest in US public markets under the new administration of President Donald Trump, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing an interview with the executive.

Friedman said she expects 2025 to be a "constructive year" for new issuances and initial public offerings but noted that regulations, including maintaining compliance with listing standards, remain as a challenge for companies.

"Regulation is very important in the financial industry but there is outcome-oriented regulation that is affective and can be efficient, and then there is input-oriented regulation which can be very ineffective and inefficient," Friedman told Bloomberg, adding that there is an opportunity to engage with the administration over these rules.
