Deutsche Bank has been recognised for its exceptional performance in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and debt capital markets (DCM) by FinanceAsia.

The bank was recognised as a leader in several key markets for providing superior service and innovative solutions to its clients across various sectors, including:

• M&A House of the Year in Australia, Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR
• DCM House of the Year in Mainland China
• Investment Bank of the Year in Indonesia

Deutsche Bank’s dominance in the Chinese DCM and M&A markets is evident in its transaction volume and market share growth. The bank supported a growing number of clients across sectors in accessing the China bond market, including local corporates and Panda bond issuers. It has consistently maintained strong relationships with existing clients by delivering exceptional service and solutions, while partnering with new clients to maximise growth and drive new opportunities.

FinanceAsia named Deutsche Bank M&A House of the Year in Australia, for its involvement in Blackstone’s acquisition of AirTrunk - the largest Australian M&A transaction in 2020, as well as a year of significant market growth. This win follows a period of growth in local market share and strengthening of advisory on cross-border transactions, particularly for private equity clients.

Deutsche Bank has consistently been a leader in the Indonesian capital and M&A markets, offering its clients substantial opportunities for portfolio diversification and sustainable business growth. In the last five years, Deutsche Bank has led over 10 sovereign bond deals, with three M&A transactions announced or closed this year.

Siantoro Goeyardi, Chief Country Officer for Indonesia, said: “We’ve been building up our business in Indonesia over the past fifty-five years. This award is further acknowledgment of our well-rounded success as well as the growing presence of Indonesia in the APAC region. We look forward to continuing to support our clients’ global ambitions.”

These recent wins build upon Deutsche Bank's previous success, including being named M&A House of the Year for APAC in 2024.
