Goldman Sachs is planning to increase the bonus pool for its investment bankers by up to 10%, despite deep job cuts this year, as the Wall Street bank looks to retain key dealmakers.

The Wall Street bank has earmarked as much 10% more for its 2023 bonus pool, according to people familiar with the discussions, but is likely to skew payments towards top performers after a difficult year for deal fees.
