Citi was named Investment Bank of the Year in Asia for 2021 by the Financial Times owned Banker Magazine. Decided by an advisory panel including the Banker’s investment Banking editor, the award recognized Citi’s support for clients during the award period across its regional network.
Citi was also named globally as Investment Bank of the Year, Investment Bank for IPOs and Investment Bank for M&A.
Last year, Citi led multiple landmark deals across equity capital markets, debt capital markets, and mergers and acquisitions in the region including in the Philippines. This included roles on the successful US$1bn equivalent Monde Nissin IPO and Ayala Corporation’s US$400m perpetual bond. Citi has also led transactions that raised over US$10bn from global capital markets for Manila based the Asian Development Bank in 2021.
“Asia-Pacific is increasingly expected to be main growth region for global economicdevelopment in the coming years and, as a result, its vibrant capital markets are also expected to continue their strong upward trajectory. Citi, with its almost unrivalled international network, has been in a strong position to build up its presence and establish itself as a leading force within the region’s capital markets. The bank leverages the full breadth and depth of its cross-franchise strengths and relationships globally to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions for clients in the region. It supports clients in established markets, as well as emerging markets,” read part of the editorial write up for the award.
