Developments at Goldman Sachs
In a key development recently, Malaysian authorities withdrew criminal charges against three subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs for their role in the 1MDB Malaysian state fund scandal.
This happened after Goldman Sachs finalised a $3.9bn agreement with the Malaysian government to settle 1MDB-linked allegations.
Last month, Goldman Sachs appointed Mathew McDermott as its new global head of digital assets as it eyes the development of its own fiat-tied token.
This July, a report unveiled that the bank will revamp its employee performance review system to make it more transparent.
The move is expected to result in more lay-offs in 2021.
In May this year, Goldman Sachs slowed down hiring plans for its private wealth management unit and delayed the roll-out of its digital wealth management platform due to Covid-19.
