Winners: FinanceAsia Awards 2023-2024 South Asia
Read on for the winners of the 28th iteration of the FinanceAsia Awards, across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
While we still see choppy financial markets amid high interest rates, it is worth pausing to recognise leading financial institutions across Asia that have performed well and made waves in these volatile times.
The goal posts have not changed: each of Asia's markets is bound by net zero commitments; and digital transformation continues to drive regulatory discourse and development around emerging sectors and virtual assets. As a result, sustainability and digitisation continue to be underlying themes shaping a new paradigm for deal-making in the region.
The FinanceAsia team invited banks, brokers, ratings agencies and other financial institutions, to showcase their capabilities to support their clients as they navigated these uncertain economic times. Our awards process celebrates those institutions that showed determination to deliver desirable outcomes, through display of commercial and technical acumen.
This year marks the 28th iteration of our FinanceAsia awards and celebrates activity that has taken place within the past year (2023).
Read on for details of the winners and finalists (entrants whose submissions were highly commended by our jury) for Southeast Asia. Full write-ups explaining the rationale behind winner selection will be published in the summer 2024 edition of FinanceAsia print magazine, with subsequent syndication online.
