Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein spoke with CNBC about the economic policies that could help financial companies generate higher earnings in the months ahead.
"There's a lot that can go wrong, but I think that we are at the beginning of a change in the cycle," said Blankfein during an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

In this in-depth conversation, Blankfein reveals what could be ahead for the financial giant and also discusses:
- His outlook for the financial industry.
- Some of the macro risks investors face in 2017.
