GlobalCapital's bond awards poll is open, and so is the LatAm new issue market

GlobalCapital is delighted to announce the launch of our Bond Awards 2022, one of the highlights of the global primary debt capital markets calendar.

GlobalCapital reveals today the winners of its Bond Awards 2021, including celebration of the achievement of top corporate banks and issuers — and Lifetime Achievement Awards for two of Europe’s most prominent corporate funding officials.

The immediate need for corporates in Europe during the Covid-19 crisis was to quickly tap liquidity but after debt capital markets re-opened, thoughts turned to future-proofing business models, balance sheets and funding strategies. BNP Paribas was perfectly placed to have those discussions with clients with an integrated coverage model that provided neutral capital structure advice.

Sustainability became the defining feature of late 2020 and 2021 capital markets, with ever more issuers and investors in more asset classes using more products than ever before. BNP Paribas has led the development of the market from sovereign green bonds to social and sustainability linked finance.

The corporate hybrid market is on a tear, with post-Covid issuance in 2020 of €46.7bn, almost as much as in the two previous years combined, and volume for 2021 already reaching €19.8bn by mid-May. Citi has been on the top-line of 60% of the corporate hybrids issued since the start of the pandemic, leading €38.6bn out of a total €66bn, and on 38 tranches out of 75 issued.
