The award was based on a unanimous decision by the editors of IFR Asia, a leading regional capital markets magazine.
The recognition from IFR Asia reaffirms the expertise and solution-driven approach of Citi’s capital markets and advisory teams in developing and executing complex transactions for clients in an ever-changing and challenging macro-environment.
"Citi’s pan- Asian footprint and diverse sector coverage made it a bastion of stability, while its commercial bank enabled it to give issuers more options in rapidly changing market conditions," IFR Asia concluded in an editorial write up accompanying the award win.
"This win is a recognition of the strength of Citi’s franchise, the competitive advantage of our global network and the passion and energy of our teams," Jan Metzger, head of Asia Pacific banking, capital markets and advisory at Citi, said.
