CIMB Wins 11 Awards In Alpha SEA’s Best Deal & Solution Awards 2021

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 — CIMB Investment Bank Bhd, CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd and CIMB Thai Bank PCL have been honoured with 11 awards at Alpha Southeast Asia’s (SEA) 15th Annual Best Deal & Solution Awards 2021 – the largest number of awards among banking groups in ASEAN.

In a statement today, the bank said the awards were a testament to the strength of CIMB’s established investment banking franchise across ASEAN, with the group picking up awards for top deals across the equity and debt space and its market leadership in the Sukuk markets.

According to Bloomberg and Dealogic, for more than a decade, CIMB has been the largest global Sukuk arranger to-date among ASEAN banks and in Malaysia.

CIMB was also recognised for its commitment to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG), clinching the Best ASEAN Green Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Sukuk and Best SRI Sukuk awards for SME Bank’s maiden issuance of RM500 million Sustainability Islamic medium-term note (MTN), where CIMB acted as lead manager.

“Our awards in the ESG space affirm CIMB’s aspiration to be an ASEAN sustainability leader, in line with our commitment to mobilise RM30.0 billion towards sustainable finance by 2024.

“We also appreciate #teamCIMB’s efforts in continuing to work tirelessly to enhance CIMB’s reputation as a leading ASEAN investment banking franchise and Islamic finance house,” said CIMB Group chief executive officer Datuk Abdul Rahman Ahmad.

Meanwhile, CIMB Islamic Bank’s innovative EcoSave-i Savings Account, with its built-in feature for contributing to environmental causes as well as its partnerships with environmentally-focused bodies in Malaysia, helped lay the foundations for its recognition as Best Social Impact Islamic Finance House.
