Wall Street Concerned But Not Terrified by Mamdani's Victory

Wall Street isn't writing off the Big Apple's new mayor. A day after Zohran Mamdani won the election, New York Stock Exchange representatives announced their willingness to cooperate. Although the financial community fears his socialist agenda could weaken New York's competitiveness, some business leaders express hope that Mamdani will soften his stance over time.

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said Wednesday that the bank has a "deep interest in New York City's success" and wants to provide Mamdani with "the best advice." JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, meanwhile, said new mayors often gain experience quickly when they "are put in the line of fire."

Mamdani defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in the election, garnering more votes than the two candidates combined. Public support, however, doesn't necessarily equate to enthusiasm from the business community. Analysts believe Mamdani's platform could have an impact on the city's perception of being "business-friendly." Strategist Tim Ghriskey of Ingalls & Snyder called the election results "an interesting experiment."

The new mayor's program is largely based—a fact he doesn't hide, but rather emphasizes—on left-wing economic policies. Mamdani has promised, among other things, free bus transportation, universal childcare, and the creation of a network of municipal grocery stores. He has also pledged to introduce broad rent controls and increase taxes on those earning over $1 million annually, which is particularly worrying for investors. Some financiers believe that rent prices are unsustainable if the tax burden on landlords increases.

Mamdani spokeswoman Dora Pekec said his "affordability program" will benefit the economy. "It's important that we ensure New Yorkers have a high quality of life so they continue to want to start businesses here," she said.

Mamdani pokonał w wyborach byłego gubernatora stanu Nowy Jork Andrew Cuomo oraz republikanina Curtisa Sliwę, zdobywając więcej głosów niż ci dwaj kandydaci razem wzięci. Poparcie społeczeństwa nie musi być jednak równoznaczne z entuzjazmem świata biznesu. Zdaniem analityków program Mamdaniego może mieć wpływ na postrzeganie miasta jako „przyjaznego biznesowi”. Strateg Tim Ghriskey z Ingalls & Snyder określił wynik wyborów jako „interesujący eksperyment”.

Program nowego burmistrza opiera się w dużej mierze – czego on sam nie ukrywa, a wręcz uwydatnia – na lewicowych rozwiązaniach gospodarczych. Mamdani obiecał m.in. darmową komunikację autobusową, powszechną opiekę nad dziećmi i stworzenie sieci miejskich sklepów spożywczych. Zapewnił także o wprowadzeniu szerokiej kontroli czynszów i zwiększenia podatków dla zarabiających powyżej miliona dolarów rocznie, co szczególnie niepokoi inwestorów. Cześć finansistów uważa, że ceny wynajmu są nie do utrzymania, jeżeli wzrosną obciążenia podatkowe wynajmujących.

Rzeczniczka Mamdaniego Dora Pekec stwierdziła, że jego „program przystępności cenowej” przyniesie korzyści gospodarce. „Ważne jest, abyśmy zapewnili nowojorczykom wysoką jakość życia, aby chcieli nadal zakładać tu firmy” – stwierdziła.

Wall Street nie skreśla nowego burmistrza Wielkiego Jabłka. Dzień po zwycięstwie Zohrana Mamdaniego w wyborach na nowego włodarza miasta przedstawiciele nowojorskiego parkietu zapowiedzieli gotowość do współpracy. Choć środowisko finansowe obawia się, że jego socjalistyczny program może osłabić konkurencyjność Nowego Jorku, część liderów biznesu wyraża nadzieję, że Mamdani z czasem złagodzi swoje stanowisko.

Prezes Bank of America Brian Moynihan powiedział w środę, że bank ma „głęboki interes w tym, by Nowy Jork odniósł sukces” i chce zapewnić Mamdaniemu „najlepsze doradztwo”. Z kolei szef JPMorgan Jamie Dimon ocenił, że nowi burmistrzowie często szybko zdobywają doświadczenie, gdy „stają na linii ognia”.
