The sources could not be named as the information was not yet made public. Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
The job cuts are expected to be just over 3,000, one of the sources said, but the final number is yet to be determined. Bloomberg News reported on Sunday that Goldman would eliminate about 3,200 positions.
The layoffs are likely to affect most major divisions of the banks but should centre on Goldman Sachs’s investment banking division, one of the sources said. Institutional banks have suffered a major slowdown in corporate deals as a result of volatile global financial markets.
