KangaNews Awards 2022: institution and deal winners announced
KangaNews is proud to announce the winners of the institutional and deal categories in the KangaNews Awards 2022. At the end of another hectic year in the Australian and New Zealand capital markets, KangaNews received votes from hundreds of market participants keen to recognise the achievements of 2022's most outstanding performers.
Since their inception at the end of 2007, the KangaNews Awards have been based purely on the votes of market participants. KangaNews does not employ an awards committee or ask for awards pitches. Instead, it conducts thorough and intensive polling of those involved in the Australian and New Zealand debt markets.
The majority of the KangaNews Awards are for longstanding categories, in many cases dating back to the first ever iteration of the process. The first KangaNews Awards 2022 announcement covers awards for institutions and transactions. The KangaNews Market People of the Year for 2022 will be announced at the KangaNews Awards Gala Dinner on 21 March 2023.
