EM Polls and Awards

As global central banks rushed to prop up the global economy this year as the coronavirus pandemic hit, emerging markets issuers stormed into the bond markets, raising record-breaking levels of debt. A deluge of deals, including green debuts, 50 year and even century bonds, were snapped up by an investor base hungry for high — or least comparatively high — yielding assets. The GlobalCapital emerging markets editorial team selected the year’s best deals, giving consideration to the fundamentals of the trade as well as the context around the deal. After much deliberation, the winners were selected as the standout deals in unprecedented times. Congratulations to those involved.

In part three of GlobalCapital Asia's awards results announcements, we reveal the winning bond deals across different categories, as well as the best debt houses and the best bank for SRI financing.

GlobalCapital China is pleased to invite you to participate in our 2020 annual awards.

GlobalCapital has made the difficult but hopefully understandable decision to postpone our 2020 Bond Awards, but we are now relaunching them today.

The poll to determine GlobalCapital's Bond Awards 2020 is open. Until June 30, market participants are invited to choose the firms and individuals who have performed most impressively in the past year.

In the final part of GlobalCapital China’s awards announcement, we discuss the key innovation of 2019, and reveal the individual that has made the greatest contribution to reforming and internationalising the Chinese onshore market.

In the second part of GlobalCapital China’s awards announcement, we reveal the winning banks across Panda bonds, G3 bonds and ABS, as well as the best bank for securities services and the most impressive law firm.

GlobalCapital China, previously GlobalRMB, is pleased to announce the winners of its annual capital markets awards, honouring the banks, companies and individuals that have made the biggest contribution to bridging the gap between China’s markets and the rest of the world. In part one of the awards, we reveal the most impressive issuers in the FIG, corporate and SSA categories.

After the Federal Reserve’s hawkish attitude in 2018, a more dovish mood at the US central bank meant that 2019 was smooth sailing for many emerging market borrowers. However, political storms meant the turbulent asset class still threw up its share of rocks for borrowers to navigate. The GlobalCapital editorial team selected the best deals of the year, considering not just the eventual result of the trade, but the backdrop against which the deals were sold. The winners are presented here. Congratulations to those involved.
