Deals of the Year 2012: Anadolu Efes

Establishing a reputation in the global debt markets was also a priority for Anadolu Efes, the Turkish beverage group that made its dollar debut in October to a rapturous reception from investors. "As a global company that is growing quite fast, we wanted to devise a funding source that would allow us to extend our maturities and diversify our investor base, and that we can tap into in the future when and if we have sizeable financing requirements," says Can Çaka, the group’s chief financial officer.
