Alongside the CEE regional accolade, the results also see UniCredit retain its crown as the ‘Best Bank for Transaction Services in Central & Eastern Europe’, with Euromoney commenting: “As well as maintaining leading transaction services, advisory and markets franchises, the Italian group has shown consistent appetite for putting its balance sheet to work across the region”.
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence were established in 1992 and are widely regarded as the definitive awards programme for the global banking industry, identifying ‘the best of the best’ in all countries offering banking services.
As in previous years, the judging criteria include profitability, demonstrable growth, relative outperformance compared with peers and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions and client needs.
Jean Pierre Mustier, CEO of UniCredit, said: “Being recognised by Euromoney as the best bank across these markets is clear testament to the tremendous work our teams are doing and to our continued efforts to support clients across the Group. I am very proud of these awards and would like to personally thank each of our employees across Europe who continue to work tirelessly to help us deliver on our commitments.”
