Transformation comes in different guises. Spain’s CaixaBank saw an opportunity to become a clear national leader from the wreckage of the country’s savings bank system. It is rightly awarded this year’s title as best bank in Spain.

In 2012/13, RBC Caribbean faced a perfect storm of downgrades in the majority of countries in which it operated, and its business was in disarray.
