Financial Markets Awards is a landmark recognition programme to benchmark institutional leadership and performance in the both the regulated markets and exchanges landscape of Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa regions.

Global financial markets are undergoing several global transformations. Interest rates are rising while inflationary pressures remain, and the era of easy money is over. Cracks have been appearing in the recent market downturn, but despite the turmoil in digital assets, the impact on the overall banking system remains marginal. In addition, digitisation and democratisation have been reshaping banking and capital market. According to the World Economic Forum, both investors and corporate issuers have changing needs and expectations, and a range of new actors are joining traditional financial institutions to meet this demand.

The programme is anchored by an international panel of advisors that comprises industry leaders, practitioners and academics. They supervise and complement the work of TAB Global researchers to ensure the integrity, independence, rigor and transparency of the awards.

For any questions concerning the programme, please contact Mr. Chris Kapfer at ckapfer@tab.global
