Maybank Investment Bank wins multiple awards including Best Investment Bank and Best Sustainable Bank

Kuala Lumpur, 8 July 2022 - Maybank Investment Bank (“Maybank IB”) once again dominated the investment banking categories at the FinanceAsia Country Awards 2022 when it was named Best Investment Bank, Best Sustainable Bank, Best ECM House and Best DCM House.

Meanwhile, at The Asset Triple A Sustainable Infrastructure Awards, Maybank IB took home four accolades, including Project Finance House of the Year as well as Transport Deal of the Year for its role as lead arranger and lead manager for DanaInfra Nasional RM1.5 billion government-guaranteed Sukuk.

Completing the list are Power/Utilities Deal of the Year as coordinating arranger, mandated lead arranger and bookrunner for Pulau Indah Power Plant’s RM2.7 billion syndicated term financing, and Renewable Energy Deal of the Year as arranger of Solarpack Suria Sungai Petani’s RM275 million bridge loan facility.

This is Maybank IB’s third consecutive year being named Best Investment Bank by FinanceAsia, second consecutive year winning Best ECM House and its fourth time winning Best DCM House.

FinanceAsia said that the awards solidify Maybank IB’s status as a leader in MYR and USD debt and equity transactions in Malaysia, and the preferred advisor for corporates in the market.

“To name just some of the achievements that the bank can reflect on, earning it the title of Best Investment Bank, are: Press Metal Aluminium Holdings’ RM970.6 million primary placement in March 2022; Farm Fresh’s RM1 billion IPO in March 2022; and CTOS Digital’s RM1.2 billion IPO in July 2021. It is worth noting that the Maybank IB has won awards consecutively since 2020 — again, proving its ability to handle complex transactions. Others echo our assertion: Maybank IB consistently tops Bloomberg’s Malaysian Bonds and Malaysian Ringgit Sukuk league tables, and leads Dealogic’s ECM league table,” it added.

Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer, Maybank Investment Bank said: “We owe this tremendous achievement to our capable teams and to our clients who have continued to place their trust in us. Winning ‘Best Sustainable Bank’ is especially meaningful as it is a recognition of the concerted efforts by all sectors of the bank to support our clients in this increasingly important space.

“We have witnessed growing awareness and initiative from corporates and investors towards sustainable financing. In response, last year we set up a dedicated Sustainable Finance team to guide clients end-to-end and to connect them to investors, while also ramping up capacity-building and actively engaging with regulators and policymakers,” he added.

Maybank IB successfully completed several landmark sustainability-related transactions last year, including SME Bank’s RM500 million Sustainability Sukuk Wakalah and Bank Pembangunan’s RM450 million Sustainability Sukuk Wakalah, the first and second Sustainability Sukuk issuances by Malaysian development finance institutions (DFIs).

Maybank IB also acted as Sole Principal Adviser, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Lead Manager for Agrobank’s RM1 billion Sustainability Sukuk Programme — the country’s first based on the Securities Commission’s Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) framework.
