Bond Awards 2025: winners revealed

GlobalCapital was delighted to bring the global debt market together once again on Wednesday evening to celebrate the winners of its annual Bond Awards.

The sun shone over London as a record number of attendees gathered at One Marylebone — a new venue for the Bond Dinner. Players from across the supranational, sovereign and agency, financial institutions, corporate and emerging market bond markets came together to catch up with old friends, connect with new faces and congratulate the winners over dinner, drinks and music.

Turning 18 this year, the GlobalCapital Bond Awards are the only Awards dedicated to issuers, investment banks, investors, rating agencies, law firms and advisers in the international bond markets. They recognise performance between April 1 2024 and March 31 2025.

Uniquely, the nominees and winners are decided by the industry itself, through a survey that took place in March and April. This means the winners reflect those considered by their clients and counterparts to stand apart from the field.

The exception to the polled categories is the Lifetime Achievement Award, which the GlobalCapital editorial team selects. This year, the Award went to Allegra Berman. She left HSBC in September 2024 after more than a decade at the bank and a long and successful career in the capital markets.

Congratulations to all our winners and nominees, and huge thanks to all those who took the time to vote in the poll. The full list of winners and nominees is below. Click here to download a PDF of the winners.
