ANZ Institutional has again been recognised for its market-leading support in the sustainable finance sector, after being named Australian sustainability debt house of the year for the fifth-consecutive time.
The bank secured more than a dozen individual honours across the capital markets space in the 2023 KangaNews awards, including New Zealand rates house of the year and Australian sustainability bond deal of the year.
Now in their 17th year, the annual KangaNews awards are judged on votes from investors and other market participants.
ANZ Managing Director, Markets, Anshul Sidher said the recognition reflected ANZ’s strong ongoing support for its customers.
“These awards are a testament to the connectivity and momentum the ANZ team brings to Australia and New Zealand capital markets,” he said.
ANZ Managing Director, Corporate Finance, Christina Tonkin called the result “outstanding”.
“These awards are a tribute to our deep expertise, market innovation and focus on sustainable financing,” she said.
KangaNews also named ANZ as Kauri House of the year in NZ. The bank was recognised as part of six separate deal awards in Aotearoa – one more than 2022 – including, once again, ‘NZ sustainability deal of the year’.
ANZ also picked up recognition for ‘Kauri bond deal of the year’ and ‘New Zealand innovative debt deal of the year’.
In Australia, ANZ participated in four deals which won awards, including ‘Australian dollar corporate bond deal of the year’.
ANZ has been a longtime standout in the KangaNews awards, securing multiple gongs across 2022, 2021, 2020 and beyond.
In June, ANZ received the number-one ranking and best-ever score in Peter Lee’s relationship strength index, as part of the Peter Lee Associates Large Corporate & Institutional Relationship Banking Survey Australia.
That came after news in March that ANZ was named number one for overall relationship quality in Asia for the sixth-consecutive year, by the 2022 Coalition Greenwich Asian Large Corporate Banking study.
