Wall Street bonuses jump 32% as total surges to record, NY comptroller says

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Wall Street banker bonuses rose 31.5% to an average $244,700 last year as dealmaking rebounded, but the boom times may wane as economic uncertainty rises, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said on Wednesday. Deals have slowed this quarter as companies navigate changing policies from President Donald Trump's administration, including tariffs and personnel changes atop regulatory agencies. "This financial market strength is good news for New York's economy and our fiscal position, which relies on the tax revenue it generates," DiNapoli said in a statement.
