FinanceAsia Achievement Awards 2023: Dealmaker Poll winners

Read on to find out the winners of our new Dealmaker Poll.

November 27, 2023

Our annual Achievement Awards recognise excellence across Asia’s financial markets. Covering three key categories - Deal Awards, House Awards and Regional Deal Awards - our Achievement Awards highlight the accomplishments of key players across Asia, Australia and New Zealand, that have shown dedication to their sector.

This year we expanded the categories to reflect a resurgent regional economy that is performing robustly despite recent challenges. Below are the winners of FA's new Dealmaker Poll to recognise individuals who have been instrumental in closing some of the region’s most ambitious deals

We are delighted to announce that following receipt of over 600 submissions, our Advisory Board of external experts along with the support of our editorial team, have now completed the judging process for this year’s awards.

Please find below a list of this year’s winners of the Dealmaker Poll category.

The rationale behind winner selection will be published in our upcoming winter print edition of FinanceAsia magazine.
