Goldman Sachs CEO, David Solomon said the company had a solid performance during the quarter despite the banking sector’s turbulence due to the company’s deeply rooted risk-management culture. He expects a significant pickup and deal making in the second half of the year. David Solomon is confident in the wake of the banking crisis. Goldman played a key role at the start of the crisis, as it was working on an equity raise on behalf of Silicon Valley Bank, which teed off the March tumult. Even so, Solomon emphasized that Goldman and the rest of the largest banks are in a solid position.
