(Bloomberg) -- With interest rates low, confidence among
cos. high, and prices for sellers attractive, it’s conceivable
that 2015 will see new records in global M&A, Richard Gnodde,
co-head of Goldman Sachs’s European division, tells Frankfurter
Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung in interview.

* Absence of external shocks is prerequisite for strong M&A
* ECB won’t raise interest rates this yr or next
* Greece remaining in EMU is preferable to Grexit; would be
“the best for all in Europe”
* Brexit not likely; if U.K. were to leave EU, Goldman would
move more resources to Frankfurt
