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.

Borrowers in sub-Saharan Africa have suffered more than those in most other regions since the Covid-19 crisis swept the globe and as it subsides, they will need international capital markets more than ever. Standard Chartered, with its strategic commitment to Africa, has been preparing issuers for their return by looking for new ways to de-risk transactions and new pockets of liquidity.

The Middle Eastern international bond market once again demonstrated its resilience over the past year with a diverse array of issuers pushing volumes well above $100bn. Standard Chartered’s client-centric approach brought success in products ranging from ESG to bank capital, and from debut transactions for corporates to repeat business for the largest sovereigns.

The FIG debt capital markets business is as competitive as they come but TD Securities has established itself over the last few years by building a reputation as a house that will go the extra mile for issuers.

The arrival of the European Union’s €100bn Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency (SURE) issuance programme in October 2020 catalysed secondary trading activity in the sovereigns, supranationals and agencies market. Tradeweb’s easily customisable platform has been giving both buy- and sell-side participants automated and efficient tools to take advantage of the opportunities SURE has opened up.

Consistency, predictability and transparency were the watchwords for Moody’s financial institutions team over the last year as it navigated the extraordinary conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
