HSBC was last week declared the World’s Best Investment Bank by Euromoney at its 2016 Awards for Excellence ceremony held in London. 

"HSBC Global Banking & Markets is a strong and diversified business. Its markets division is one of the best in the world," said Euromoney. "Just as importantly, it is now one of the most joined-up firms in the industry. In particular, the collaboration between Global Banking & Markets and Commercial Banking has been one of the bank’s great recent achievements.

What we do is simple – we support our clients, connecting them to opportunities using our global network, strong balance sheet and integrated product capability‎."

HSBC Malta Head of Global Banking and Markets Irina Seylanyan said the award was "a culmination of many years of hard work and a consistent strategy with a strong and diversified business."

The bank also won the ‘Best Bank for Corporates’, a new award introduced this year to reflect the ability of a bank to provide services to large corporates across several product groups.
