Deutsche Bank tops Q1 CEEMEA rankings

Deutsche Bank returned to the top spot in the CEEMEA league tables for the first time in two years in the first quarter. The German house acted on fewer deals than closest rival JP Morgan — 27 versus 34 — but topped the latter’s volume by $1bn thanks to mandates on a slew of chunky sovereign issues, including Hungary’s $3.25bn dual-tranche blow-out in mid-February.
