Our latest poll is our largest ever for RMB, as we received 1,276 valid responses from corporates, financial institutions and investors, a 32% increase from last year.
Standard Chartered, ranked fifth last year, demonstrates it is a force to be reckoned with by jumping into second place, hot on the heels of HSBC in a very intense competition for first. Last year’s runner-up Citi drops to third and displaces Bank of China, which is fourth this year.

These three banks also performed consistently well in other categories, including: Best Clearance, Transaction Banking and Settlement, Best Liquidity Management (renamed from Best Deposit), Best Bond Origination, Best Research and Best Fund Investment.
Further down the ranks, ICBC, Hang Seng and DBS all impress with advances. Detailed results will be available online at www.globalcapital.com/asia/data/polls-and-awards in April and the results will be published in print alongside related RMB editorial coverage in the Asiamoney report to be published in late April.
