Trump’s deregulation ‘constructive for growth’: Goldman Sachs CEO

Published On Jan 19, 2025, 9:00 AM

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has expressed optimism about potential economic growth under a future administration led by Donald Trump, particularly due to anticipated deregulation. He noted that the previous government's regulations had previously constrained investment. Solomon believes that the regulatory environment is shifting back towards a more business-friendly stance, which could stimulate growth and investment. Goldman Sachs' economists have projected a U.S. economic growth rate of about 2.5% for 2025, attributed to tax cuts and regulatory easing, despite some concerns over the impact of tariffs and immigration policies.
