  • Goldman Sachs Ends 2018 Forex Enforcement Action as Fed Confirms Compliance Improvements
    April 10, 2026, 12:51 PM EDT. Goldman Sachs Group cleared a key regulatory hurdle as the Federal Reserve Board terminated its 2018 enforcement action related to forex (foreign exchange) trading operations. The 2018 case stemmed from a $54.75 million fine for unsafe practices and weak internal controls in FX trading. Goldman Sachs responded with multi-year remediation, enhancing surveillance, supervision, and compliance risk management systems. The Fed's decision to close the case recognizes the bank's substantial improvements and sustainable controls. This allows Goldman Sachs to shift focus from regulatory compliance burdens back to core businesses such as investment banking, trading, and asset management. Shares of Goldman Sachs have risen 14.9% in the past six months, outperforming the industry's 5.5% growth. The bank holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Similar enforcement action closures include Wells Fargo, underscoring broader regulatory progress in the banking sector.
