Best Investment Banking for the fourth consecutive time
Standard Bank was recently nominated the best Investment Bank of Mozambique, by the EMEA Finance magazine, in the African Banking Awards 2016.
This is the fourth consecutive time the bank receives this distinction, with the third time awarded by the Global Finance Magazine.
The award is a testimony of the commitment of the oldest commercial bank in the country to boost the Mozambican economy, as demonstrated by the extended funding provided to key sectors of the economy, the quality of the advisory mandates won, and the sophistication of financing structures provided to customers over the last four years.
In 2016, Standard Bank continues to deepen its strategic alignment, to demonstrate leadership and experience in the capital markets and all areas of corporate and investment banking.
"In order to achieve efficiency in all of the Bank’s business and transactions in Mozambique, particularly our return on capital, we seek to improve our client satisfaction, invest in human capital and build sustainable relationships with all our stakeholders" said André du Plessis, Head of Corporate and Investment Banking when commenting on the prize awarded.
This award, he highlighted, is the recognition of the work of a highly qualified and experienced multidisciplinary Investment Banking team, focused on origination and deal structuring, as well as strengthening relationships with customers.
It’s important to note that the EMEA Finance publication is directed to the financial community in Europe, Middle East and Africa, which includes presidents, top executives, and other financial managers responsible for making investment and strategic decisions in large corporations and financial institutions.
The prizes awarded by the publication are a recognition to commercial and investment banks, asset managers, brokers and consultants for their achievements during the year.
