When GlobalCapital surveyed leaders in the European equity markets as to which deal should be called the deal of the year, the answer was unequivocal. The rights issue for UniCredit was such an important deal and it went so well, that its ramifications are still being felt. It was an outstanding achievement in the face of difficult market conditions and set in play a widespread recovery in European equity capital markets.

To a casual observer, Citi's amazing year in the EMEA equity capital markets might seem to have come out of the blue. In 2017 they made a huge jump up the league tables in terms of deals, volumes and wallet share. But it wasn't just one of those years where everything went right for them. Rather it was the fruit of three or four years investment in the business. It had been a long time in the making

The EMEA IPO market came roaring back to life in 2017 after some tricky years. Banks and financials led the way, but as the economic recovery in the region accelerated, a huge array of other issuers came to market. It was a market where you could get deals done. UBS was bookrunner on seven of the top 10 largest IPOs of the year. UBS has a strong focus on the equity markets and with that focus, the quality to ensure successful transactions.
