(IN BRIEF) Deutsche Bank has received significant recognition in the Asia Pacific region, including being named Asia’s High-Yield Bond House of the Year by IFR. The bank’s commitment to innovation and sustainable finance solutions was further demonstrated through 14 wins at The Asset Triple A Sustainable Finance Awards 2025.

(PRESS RELEASE) FRANKFURT, 18-Feb-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Deutsche Bank has further solidified its position as a leader in debt financing across Asia Pacific, earning multiple prestigious accolades for its contributions to the region’s high-yield bond market and its commitment to sustainable finance. The bank was named Asia’s High-Yield Bond House of the Year by IFR, a recognition of its pivotal role in revitalizing the Asian high-yield bond market with innovative deal structuring and its ability to guide debut issuers to success, even in challenging market conditions.

IFR described Deutsche Bank as the “championship team” in the region, praising its expertise in attracting investor interest and introducing debut issuers, such as Sorik Marapi’s green bond and Golomt Bank’s Mongolian issuance. These landmark deals set new standards in the Asian high-yield bond market, showcasing the bank’s strong market insight and ability to execute complex transactions.

Ed Tsui, Head of DCM and Syndicate for Asia Pacific, emphasized the bank’s strategic focus: “We’ve continuously provided solutions to our clients, growing the market one issuer at a time.” His comments highlight Deutsche Bank’s unwavering dedication to supporting the growth and development of the high-yield bond market, even amid periods of volatility.

In addition to debut issuances, the bank has strengthened its long-term client relationships, securing repeat business from major clients such as Shriram Finance. Sameer Gupta, Head of South Asia DCM, noted the importance of maintaining strong partnerships: “Once we have taken a capital market issuer out, we almost always do their repeat bonds. It’s about finding new opportunities while nurturing existing relationships.”

Deutsche Bank’s achievements extend beyond high-yield bonds, as it was also recognized at The Asset Triple A Sustainable Finance Awards 2025 for its commitment to sustainable finance across key APAC markets. The bank secured 14 awards, underscoring its leadership in structuring and executing innovative sustainable financing solutions.
