“Recognizing the Most Innovative & Ground-breaking Deals in Saudi Arabia”
Join the industry's most high-profile figures in celebrating!
Since 2014, the Global Banking & Markets AWARDS (formerly the Bonds, Loans & ESG Capital Markets Awards) has been recognising the most innovative and ground-breaking deals from Sovereign, Corporate and Financial Institution issuers and borrowers.
The exhaustive selection process involves close examination of deal size, tenor, structure, and distribution; analysis and background of the borrower and their accessibility to financing; with extra credit for those deals demonstrating high quality execution, accessing new pools of liquidity, innovative structuring, and opening-up new markets.
Bringing together the industry’s most high-profile figures, the Global Banking & Markets: Saudi Arabia AWARDS 2026 ceremony is an opportunity to raise the profile of the financial markets and to inspire future issuance.
