MUSCAT: HSBC Bank Oman was named the Best Investment Bank in Oman for the second consecutive year at the 2021 Euromoney Middle East Awards for Excellence.

HSBC collected five awards including the Middle East’s Best Bank for Sustainable Finance and the Middle East’s Best Bank for Transaction Services. It was also named the Best Investment Bank in Egypt and Kuwait.

Alyson Henshaw, Head of Global Banking in HSBC Oman said, “Our purpose is to open up a world of opportunity for our clients and support them every step of the way. Being acknowledged as the Best Investment Bank in Oman is a clear recognition of our strength to support Omani clients seeking access to global opportunities and products and our ability to be able to present business opportunities in Oman, which attract international investors to the Sultanate. Our global expertise and presence on the ground allow us to extend our thought leadership in the Sultanate and further support the Omani economy in tapping the international finance market.”

HSBC Oman has a long history with the Ministry of Finance supporting them on their debt raising plans and extending access to innovative financing solutions. The bank has acted on all of the Sultanate’s 2020 and 2021 issuances including their $3.25 billion issuance in January which marked the Sultanate’s largestever order book in the debt capital markets.

HSBC is prioritising financing and investment that supports the transition to a net-zero global economy, citing this as a landmark opportunity to build a thriving, resilient future for society and businesses. The bank has committed to aligning its financed emissions – the carbon emissions of its portfolio of customers – to the Paris Agreement goal to achieve netzero by 2050 or sooner. To support customers in their transition to lower carbon emissions, HSBC Group is aiming to provide up to $1 trillion of financing and investment globally by 2030. The bank also aims to be net-zero in its operations and supply chain by 2030.
