Goldman Sachs is to pay its staff more than £8bn ($15bn) in salaries, benefits and Christmas bonuses this year.
The handout follows another bumper year for the US investment bank, which has a major presence in the City of London.

Goldman reported a 93% jump in fourth quarter profits to a record $3.15bn, bringing its annual earnings for the year to $9.54bn.

The firm has reportedly asked its UK partners to contribute up to £6,000 towards this year's Christmas party.

If all of the company's British-based banking partners paid an average of £3,000 each, the London end-of-year party would cost in the region of £66,000, the Financial Times reported.

Goldman said it had set aside £8.5bn in salaries, bonuses and benefits for 2006 - up 40% from last year's figure - meaning staff worldwide could expect to receive an average of £320,000.



£320,000 average bonus for christmas :eek: :eek:
