Goldman Sachs is undergoing a major revamp in Asia to expand its investment banking market share and capitalize on favorable conditions. The bank has integrated teams, introduced new units, and appointed a new regional chief to enhance its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

The regional integration aims to provide broader insights and more seamless execution for clients in Asia. Goldman Sachs previously operated investment banking businesses separately in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of Asia, but now aims to operate as a unified platform in the region.

Goldman Sachs has seen an increase in large-scale M&A and equity capital markets activity in Asia following the integration. Market sentiment has improved, and investor engagement is on the rise, signaling a more constructive direction for the region’s financial landscape.

Despite concerns over U.S. tariff policies causing delays in deals, Asia’s markets have stabilized in recent weeks. Investors are ready to deploy capital where valuations are attractive, contributing to the resurgence of dealmaking activity in the region.

Goldman Sachs currently leads Asia Pacific’s equity capital markets league table, having worked on $12 billion worth of deals. The bank ranks third in announced M&A deals, advising on $111 billion, behind Nomura Holdings and Morgan Stanley, according to data from Dealogic.
