David Solomon, the recently-installed chief executive of Goldman Sachs, has echoed the warnings of his predecessor that a messy Brexit will impact the bank’s investment decisions in the UK.

Speaking to the BBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Solomon said the bank had not increased headcount in the City of London since the 2016 Brexit referendum, preferring instead to build its presence in continental Europe.
