20 Mar
Summary
- Mergers and acquisitions expected to rise this year.
- Monetary easing and AI investment are key drivers.
- CEO calls for long-term reset in US-China relations.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon projects a notable upswing in mergers and acquisitions activity for the current year. He indicated that a constructive operating environment is anticipated, despite potential global disruptions.
Key factors propelling this growth include expected monetary easing, fiscal stimulus in developed economies, and significant capital investment in artificial intelligence. A more balanced regulatory regime in the U.S. is also expected to contribute positively.

He believes a roadmap for enhanced dialogue exists, though the outcome remains uncertain. Business leaders are reportedly feeling more confident in pursuing strategic transactions.
