GlobalCapital is pleased to announce the winners of its Equity Capital Markets Awards 2022. The full list of winners is below.
Global equity markets were battered last year by record levels of inflation, rising interest rates and the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. After a blockbuster year in 2021, equity capital markets swiftly suffered a severe downturn in the volume of business because of the onset of a bear market and intense volatility.
For this reason, 2022 was highly unusual, with banks across the Street competing over a much smaller overall volume of business.
GlobalCapital’s Awards are the only bespoke awards dedicated to equity capital markets in the EMEA region.
In this environment, we feel it is more important than ever to recognise the achievements of the banks that performed well in difficult circumstances, proving the resilience of their businesses, as well as the issuers who completely highly innovative and transformational deals in some of the most volatile markets in recent years.
The Awards for Banks of the Year and Deals of the Year have been decided by GlobalCapital’s editorial team based on our knowledge of the market and research, including pitches and written submissions from banks.
GlobalCapital congratulates all of the winners and runners-up, and thanks all of those who supported the Awards process by pitching.
Please contact Aidan Gregory at aidan.gregory@globalcapital.com with any awards-based questions and Jack Thomson at jack.thomson@globalcapital.com to discuss commercial opportunities.
