Commercial real estate faces painful future, warns Goldman Sachs CEO.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has warned of impairments on loans and equity investments tied to commercial real estate in the second quarter due to higher interest rates. The industry is grappling with lower occupancy rates due to the shift to remote work, and some property owners have walked away from holdings rather than refinancing their loans. While the write-downs are "definitely a headwind" for the bank, they are "manageable" in the context of Goldman's overall business, he said.
