Goldman Sachs Will Close Operations in Russia

Goldman Sachs is the first major Wall Street bank to exit Russia, with only 80 employees there. This move is easier for Goldman compared to Citigroup, which has 3,000 employees in Russia. JP Morgan has not disclosed its Russian exposure. Citigroup faces challenges selling its consumer business due to potential buyers being sanctioned entities. Large Russian companies are struggling with debt repayments, increasing default risks.
