Best Bank for ESG

We are delighted to receive this award. This clearly highlights the high level of expertise and commitments of all the teams involved in advising banks on their ESG journey. We also would like to thank all our clients for their ongoing trust.

Best Covered Bond Research award

We are especially proud of Florian Eichert, Head of Covered Bond & SSA Research, who has been given the Best Covered Bond Research award for an unprecedented eleventh year!

2024 has seen a surge in investor interest with existing investors doing more as well as the arrival of new credit investors. Especially the latter theme has led to a number of previously held truths and conventions being challenged and factors driving relative value shift. To be voted number one in such a crucial period for the market means the world to us. We can only thank all of our clients for your trust in our experience and views in these tricky conditions.

Best Pioneering Deal

Our Novo Banco deal was awarded Best Pioneering Deal. Novo Banco, €500m 3.25% March 2027, shows a strong debut in the relatively new segment of “Obrigaçoes Cobertas”, the country’s new European Covered Bond Premium Label compliant secured bonds. Due to limited Portuguese covered bond supply contrasted by the growing interest in exposure to the country, and the successful turn-around of Novo Banco, the transaction drew additional investor attention onto the Portuguese covered bonds market.

At Crédit Agricole CIB, we are committed to being a long-term partner to our covered bond issuer and investor clients through all market cycles. Our expertise is recognised again and again while the asset class enjoys a strong recovery after a decade of quantitative easing. We thank all our clients for their renewed trust in our covered bond franchise.

Vincent Hoarau

Head of FIG Syndicate

A big thank you to all our clients for their continued trust in Crédit Agricole CIB, we always strive to provide the best advice and execution and are delighted to be recognised, particularly when markets are becoming more challenging to navigate.
