GlobalCapital revealed the winners of its Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance and Private Placement Awards 2016 at its 14th Annual Loans Dinner on Wednesday. A dozen borrowers — corporate, bank and sovereign — from all over the EMEA region attended the dinner of 250 people at the Guildhall in London. The awards were as ever based on a poll of loan market participants, conducted at the end of 2016. As such, they are the only awards that recognise achievement in the EMEA loan market based on the opinion of the market. This year we added two high profile new awards: the Lifetime Achievement Award and Most Impressive Growing Force in the Loan Market. Participants at the dinner supported the Loan Syndicate Managers’ Forum’s chosen charity, Make Sense of It, which supports research into, and sufferers from, multiple sclerosis. GlobalCapital congratulates all the winners and nominees.

For CEEMEA bonds, 2016 was a boom year punctuated by large, volatility-inducing shock events that culminated with a game-changing US election. But such events did little to dampen enthusiasm for EM debt from issuers and investors alike. CEEMEA corporates and sovereigns issued almost double the debt raised in 2015, printing $152.4bn up to the second week in December.

China’s private banking industry is growing in leaps and bounds. High- and ultra-high-net-worth mainland customers are increasingly mobile, demanding best-in-class service from their financial providers. Banks are adapting to the changing world, rolling out innovative and sophisticated services to their high-end clientele. In recognition of China’s advances in the field, Asiamoney is proud to announce the winners of its awards for best mainland private banks for 2016.

Asia has taken its time in improving corporate governance standards, with experts agreeing on the need for broader action. But Taiwan and Hong Kong firms seem to be moving in the right direction, as shown in the results of this year's Asiamoney Corporate Governance poll. Paolo Danese reports.
