ABA reaches out to US administration in transition with post-election statement

November 10, 2016

Between the ugliness of this fall's U.S. presidential election campaign and its almost universally unexpected result, the American financial services industry will be taking another look at its agenda of achievables before a new Republican president takes office in January.

For the American Bankers Association, the first step in the process was to release a statement on Wednesday from  ABA president and CEO Rob Nichols:

We congratulate Donald Trump on his election as the 45th president of the United States and all other winners of last night's election. ABA is eager to work with the new administration and the 115th Congress to achieve our shared goals for a vibrant and growing economy. 

We call on the administration and Congress to come together and work for the common good. We look forward to working with members of both parties on policy solutions that will allow banks to help accelerate economic growth, create jobs, better serve their local communities and help their customers and clients succeed.
