Trump, Clinton and Putin entered the list of the most influential people in the financial world

US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton shared second place in 50's most influential list people in the world of finance, compiled by Bloomberg. Trump and Clinton lost only to the new British Prime Minister Teresa May.

Russian President Vladimir Putin included in the rating under 30 number. The commentary by Bloomberg notes that Putin’s position remains strong, despite the overall isolation, a reduction in American and European investments in the Russian economy, sanctions after the annexation of the Crimea, and a decrease in energy prices.

“The whole world awaits with slight trepidation the next steps of the Russian president, given the financial and economic consequences that may follow - in the oil market, in the states bordering Russia in Eastern Europe, in the Middle East and, perhaps, even in the presidential elections in the United States.” , says the rating.

Theresa May's first place in terms of influence on the financial world is explained by the fact that the status of the City of London as the main financial center of Europe depends on her, as a person who knows how to “solve pressing issues.” May led the British government after the referendum on leaving the European Union.

If Trump is elected president of the United States, according to the compilers of the rating, it will be interesting to observe the confrontation in the field of free trade between the billionaire politician who makes isolationist statements and the Republican Party that launched him, as well as attempts to contain the growth of public debt.

As for Clinton, Bloomberg authors are convinced that the financial world will be able to finally understand whose position will prevail - Clinton's powerful donors from Wall Street or supporters of the socialist Bernie Sanders, whom the former US Secretary of State tried in every possible way to win over.

In drawing up the list, Bloomberg asked several dozen agency journalists to present their nominations. In total, more than 100 names were named, of which the editorial management selected 50 people who determine the trends in the world of finance.
