While the Ukraine crisis enters its second week, the Wall Street powerhouse is relocating some of its staff to Dubai, a crucial financial hub in the Middle East, as global firms reassess their Russian activities.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a multinational investment bank and financial services firm centered in New York City.
As of 2021, Goldman Sachs employed about 40,500 individuals and had total assets of $1.2 trillion.
