Central America and Caribbean’s best investment bank 2016: Citi

Results index

In investment banking in this region, Citi’s historic business and corporate ties to the area have long given it an advantage in capturing the lion’s share of central America’s sporadic international capital markets transactions. The bank is increasingly successful in leveraging its corporate clients that it retains through its cash management business.

Citi led on the Republic of El Salvador’s $80 million, 12-year transaction – the first international bond from the sovereign since 2012. The bank has also tapped the local markets for corporates, an increasingly important differentiator for Citi as it enables it to advise local companies on the relative benefits and costs of a range of financing.
