From Corporate Simplification to Recovering Growth: Europe's Business Environment

Europe's business environment is in focus as companies simplify their corporate structure, global trade tensions continue and the tech industry faces increased scrutiny. Marc Nachmann, co-head of the Goldman Sachs Investment Banking Division, joins us to talk through how these factors and more are shaping business decisions and M&A in Europe. "CEO confidence remains quite strong in light of strong U.S. GDP growth, European growth recovering, and a pretty good consumer environment almost everywhere," Nachmann says. "So business environment is pretty good, confidence is high, and as a result, everybody's pretty open-minded to consider strategic transactions." This podcast was recorded on August 2, 2018.
