Wall Street firms are expected to pay heftier bonuses for this year, the first increase since a bumper year in 2021, according to a report by compensation consultancy Johnson Associates.

Wall Street bonuses are on the rise for the first time in three years. How big a pay bump bankers and traders get will depend on the type of work they do. Those who work in the hot market for bond sales are set to see their bonuses jump by as much as 35%,

A bump in dealmaking, lower interest rates and a booming stock market converge in a forecast of heftier pay packets for the finance sector.
