Bags “Best Bond Adviser” title for the 8th straight year

Chinabank Capital has remained unmatched by local investment houses thus far in effectively structuring and efficiently executing capital market deals, and in delivering best-in-class investment banking services to issuers and investors.

This was the consensus after Chinabank Capital, the wholly-owned investment banking subsidiary of China Banking Corporation, has again been named “Best Bond Adviser” in the Philippines by The Asset.
