Being all things to all institutions all over the world is not something that large global banks have been trumpeting in recent years, but when that is exactly what a bank is capable of it, is worth shouting about.
In global infrastructure and project finance, HSBC has good reason to shout. It is active in all the main markets and can connect them in a way most banks simply cannot, while its expertise and heft in financial advisory, structuring, lending, debt capital markets and hedging, comprehensively equips it with more capabilities than most.
But it is not just global breadth of coverage and skillset that counts. It is being able to bring that all together and consistently deliver solutions that tackle some of the most complex challenges for clients across industries and borders that really matters, and there HSBC’s global team excels.
In the past year, the bank has successfully executed more than 54 project finance advisory and arranging mandates worth over $50 billion across 22 countries, and broken new ground for its clients along the way.
