Proximo Weekly: The best of Asia-Pacific 2020
Even at the height of the pandemic Asia produced some market firsts last year.
Proximo is delighted to announce its winners of Deals of the Year Asia-Pacific 2020. Even the pandemic did not manage to stop a number of benchmarks being set last year - notably the Almaty Ring Road PPP, Japan's first major offshore wind financing and the Reliance Meghnaghat transition financing.
For the first time we have also included bank and law firm awards. In a bid to create a more level playing field for smaller operators in those categories, these awards are not based on total deal volume for the year. Instead we looked at the number of participations in our winning deals list, combined with participations (at a lower weighting) in all the deals shortlisted for the awards – in short, participations in all the outstanding deals that closed in 2020, rather than all the deals that closed in 2020.
Our Americas Deals of the Year and EMEA Deals of the Year have already been announced. Detailed write-ups on all of the winning transactions are available in our Global Awards supplement - download your copy below or here.
Congratulations to all Asia-Pacific winners.
