“Recognizing the Most Innovative & Ground-breaking Deals Across CEECAT”
Join the Industry's Most High-profile Figures in Celebrating!
Since 2014, the Global Banking & Markets AWARDS (formerly the Bonds, Loans & ESG Capital Markets Awards) has been recognising the most innovative and ground-breaking deals from Sovereign, Corporate and Financial Institution issuers and borrowers.
The exhaustive selection process involves close examination of deal size, tenor, structure, and distribution; analysis and background of the borrower and their accessibility to financing; with extra credit for those deals demonstrating high quality execution, accessing new pools of liquidity, innovative structuring, and opening-up new markets.
Bringing together the industry’s most high-profile figures, the Global Banking & Markets: CEE, Central Asia & Türkiye AWARDS 2025 ceremony is an opportunity to raise the profile of the financial markets with the international investment community, and to inspire future issuance by CEE, Central Asian & Turkish companies.
