Goldman Sachs Expands Infrastructure Financing Amid AI Boom

According to BlockBeats, Goldman Sachs is intensifying its efforts in the data center and infrastructure financing market to capitalize on the growing demand driven by the artificial intelligence surge. Sources indicate that the company is forming a dedicated team within its global banking and markets division to focus on global infrastructure financing. This initiative includes increasing lending in this sector and finding investors for these debts. The move is fueled by a new wave of multi-billion-dollar transactions involving AI data centers, their significant energy requirements, and financing for processing units that support AI development. The new team will also concentrate on traditional infrastructure construction or upgrade projects in both developed and emerging markets. Additionally, the team will be responsible for raising funds for renewable energy and certain types of liquefied natural gas projects. They will also provide financing for military and other equipment related to rising defense expenditures in various countries.
