The office will accommodate around 50 staffs working in different segments, such as bankers to look after the technology, media and telecommunication industry as well as buyout companies, startups and family-led businesses, added the people.

The American investment bank also plans to house employees from its private banking and asset management units in the new office.

Confirming the move, a spokesman for Goldman Sachs told Bloomberg that Munich is “an important economic centre in Germany and a vibrant, multicultural and growing European hub in areas such as the technology sector and private equity industry.”  

The city of Munich has emerged as an alternate destination to Frankfurt, the main financial hub in Germany.
