David Solomon

What's not obvious?

David, thank you so much for the time.

I know you have to go and enjoy the conference.

We'll see you again next time you're in town.

I appreciate this.

David Solomon there, guys.

Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs.

Well, we're certainly excited about what's going on in Saudi Arabia and what's going on in the GCC more broadly.

I think it's a big opportunity for our business.

We've been here for a while, but we've certainly been investing and expanding.

Here in Saudi Arabia, we opened a new office this year.

We've got about 20 people on the ground here, but we're probably headed to about 60.

And the big reason for that expansion is we've recently launched the initiative of our high end private wealth business here in the region.

And so that will bring more resources, more attention and more focus.

We've been in the region for quite some time.

We've been active as a member of the title.

I think we're one of the early participants in the equity markets here.

And so we've been very, very involved in the equity markets as an international firm.

We've led some of the largest IPOs in the region.

I think you're going to continue to see an influx of capital markets transactions.
