Every year, The Asian Banker recognises achievements in the key business and operational areas of the banking industry. The purpose of these awards is to recognise annual achievements and winners in the competition for market share, product and operational excellence.

The Business Achievement awards are for cash management, treasury, trade finance, corporate and investment banking, and Islamic banking as well as operational areas of risk management, technology and operations.

The winners for these awards are determined through a combination of surveys, interviews and field research by The Asian Banker’s research staff. The findings of the research are published in a neutral manner, with a scorecard outlining how the different domestic and global players feature in them. 

The Goals of this Programme

These awards are designed with the following goals:

1. To track the changing competitive landscape in the industry, by identifying winners and losers

2. To identify the critical success factors required for success in the different businesses tracked in this programme

3. To develop a repository of benchmarks and best practices that industry players as a whole can use and improve upon.

The Regions covered

The programme is intended to be global, and we hold all of the nominees for the awards against global benchmarks and best practices. By building experience and nurturing relationships, we have been gradually extending our main coverage from the Asia Pacific region to Central Asia and Middle East. We also recognise outside the region those global leaders whose unique capabilities are truly second to none, applying concise Industry skills to vast, incredibly complex institutions that span continents.
