SOUTH Africa’s Absa Corporate and Investment Banking scooped the best investment bank in Africa award at the EMEA Finance African Banking Awards, the financial services group said on Wednesday.
The group also won best investment bank in Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia; as well as the best equity house in Mozambique, and the best loan house in South Africa.
Absa CIB chief executive Charles Russon said: “We are honoured to be chosen as the best investment bank in Africa in these highly respected industry awards, and it is testament to the hard work the team has put in to make our business more and more client-focused while ensuring we deliver to the level expected of a leading investment bank.
“We have seen a growing appetite by our clients to invest and expand across the continent, both in the markets that Absa operates in, and in non-presence countries. We are here to provide the solutions that help our clients realise their ambitions across this continent.”
The awards recognise the achievements of retail and investment banks, as well as their asset management and brokerage operations across the combined emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions. – Nampa-ANA
