Standard Bank has been recognised with multiple wins in the 9th annual Bonds, Loans and ESG Capital Markets Africa Awards.

The bank was awarded in the following categories:
  • Local Currency Bond House of the Year
  • Local Currency Loan House of the Year
  • Project Finance Bank of the Year
  • Sub-Sahara Africa Investment Bank of the Year
  • East Africa Investment Bank of the Year

Since 2015, the Bonds, Loans and ESG Capital Markets Africa Awards have rewarded and recognised the most innovative and ground-breaking deals from sovereign, corporate and financial institutions. The selection process involves close examination of deal size, tenor, structure, distribution and analysis of the background of the borrower and their access to financing, with extra credit for deals that demonstrate high-quality execution or innovative structuring or provide access to new pools of liquidity and new markets.

“Thank you to Bonds, Loans and ESG Capital Markets Africa for recognising the bank for these respected awards. Africa remains central to everything that we do, and winning an accolade like this reinforces our uniquely African proposition and recognises our efforts towards helping our clients realise the opportunities available on the continent,” said Brian Marshall, Head: Investment Banking, Standard Bank Group.

Specific deals were also acknowledged with the following awards:
  • Corporate Bond Deal of the Year for Axian Telecom
  • Oil and Gas Deal of the Year for Sonangol EP
  • Local Currency Loan Deal of the Year for Ohlthaver and List Beverage Company
  • Structured Loan Deal of the Year for GRIT Real Estate Income Group
  • Renewable Energy Finance Deal of the Year for Scatec ASA
  • Structured Bond Deal of the Year for SA Home Loans / Thekwini Fund18
  • Local Currency Bank / FI Bond Deal of the Year for Liberty Group

This year’s awards ceremony took place on 15 March, alongside the annual Bonds, Loans and ESG Capital Markets Africa conference, which was held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 14 and 15 March 2023.

As Platinum and ESG Sponsors of the conference, Standard Bank showcased their capabilities in Africa’s capital markets at the continent's only pan-African debt event. The event was attended by more than 860 leading governments, corporates, investors, banks, law firms, regulators and service providers in one location. Several Standard Bank Investment Banking team members participated in key panel discussions alongside other industry experts.
