Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon said U.S. economic growth would benefit from greater trade certainty, underscoring how policy stability remains a key driver for business confidence.
Speaking on the outlook for the bank, Solomon pointed to a "real pickup” in strategic mergers and acquisitions activity, suggesting that companies are increasingly willing to deploy capital despite macro uncertainty.
He added that Goldman’s asset and wealth management arm has scope to expand at a high single-digit pace. While the bar for acquisitions in that division remains high, Solomon said the firm would remain open to selective opportunities.
