Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Solomon said there’s a “meaningfully higher” chance of a soft landing for the economy now than there was six months ago, echoing the sentiments of his peers that the US could avoid a serious downturn.

“The chance of our having a soft landing here as we go ’23 into ’24 is even higher than I thought it was six months ago,” Solomon said Tuesday at the RBC Capital Markets Global Financial Institutions Conference.
