Jan 7 (Reuters) – Morgan Stanley promoted 184 of its ‍employees to managing directors this year, an about 6% increase from ‌a year ago, ‌according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.

Bank ‍of America also promoted more employees to managing director roles in ‍December, as dealmakers at the biggest U.S. banks ‍prepare ‍for a ​resurgence in ​mergers ⁠and acquisitions as ‌well as initial public offerings.
