Submissions no longer accepted for Regional and Country Awards for excellence

We thank you for your continuing support of and interest in Euromoney’s Awards for excellence. Without your support we would not be able to produce what the industry considers to be the definitive awards for global financial services. We know that we ask much of you when we seek submissions during our awards process. That is why this year we have endeavoured to simplify the process in two ways: 1) To collect consistent, core data which facilitates comparative analysis of competing banks; 2) To allow each bank, in its own words, to tell the story of its achievements, improvements and performance over the past 12 months. The information we need is shown in much more detail on the guideline pages. However the decision making process within Euromoney remains the same. We continue to seek the best of the best in all countries offering banking services, as well as our regional banking and investment banking champions. As every year, size is important but certainly not paramount. Profitability is of course vital, but so is an ability to demonstrate growth, relative outperformance compared to peers and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions and/or client needs. Once submissions are received, our team of editors, journalists and researchers will analyse these in conjunction with our own market knowledge and research, before decisions are made by our editorial committee, which I chair. These decisions are never easy but they would be harder still without your help. Thank you and good luck! Clive Horwood Editor Euromoney
