On August 12, Lazard's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Orszag, appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box to provide insights on inflation, the regulatory environment, and momentum across dealmaking.
When asked about how Lazard is advising clients in the current environment, Peter noted: "Most boards and CEOs are saying we have to look past some of this noise, like last week. Inflation continues to come down, the [Federal Reserve] will cut rates...and with regard to the election that...if anything, the antitrust and regulatory environment will get better, not worse under either administration."
Peter also commented on the overall dealmaking environment, stating: "The deal environment continues to improve. I mean, we [Lazard] had a record first half in our advisory business this year."
