【Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman: No Matter Who is Elected President, the U.S. Will Avoid Economic Recession】Golden Finance reported that Stephen Schwarzman, Chairman and CEO of Blackstone Group, stated in an interview in Tokyo on Wednesday that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the U.S. is likely to avoid an economic recession, as both candidates have policies aimed at stimulating economic growth. Schwarzman noted that as U.S. interest rates are likely to continue to decline, he believes the environment for deals and exits is improving. "This is really a question of interest rates and economic growth," he said. "Interest rates will continue to decline, which will drive more buying and selling transactions." (Jinshi)
