Covered Bond Awards

The market recognised the Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole CIB) covered bond franchise in no fewer than three categories this year. In addition to taking home awards for Best Research and the Best Bank for ESG Issuers, the firm’s guidance helped a standout Novo Banco deal secure Best Pioneering Deal.

Erste Group’s decade-long expansion of its DCM franchise has created a covered bond powerhouse with expertise stretching from Canada to eastern Europe. Dedication to issuers and investors alike secured Erste wins for Best Bank for Distribution and Syndication, two of the most coveted categories for covered bond dealers. In a testament to the strength of its team, the firm also saw a trio bankers win awards for individual excellence.

Big isn’t necessarily the best. But when it comes to being a covered bond issuer, and a green bond issuer this year, it was certainly helpful. According to our poll of market participants, BPCE, one of the biggest issuers in the covered bond market was also one of the best, nominated in an incredible five categories and scooping the prestigious awards for both Issuer of the Year and Best Euro Deal of the Year.
