Soon to be announced: Deals of the Year Awards 2017
Finance Dublin received nominations for almost 160 deals for the forthcoming 2017 Deals of the Year Awards with nominating firms including accountancy firms, banks, corporate finance houses, public bodies, and corporates. The five awards categories of Mergers & Acquisitions, Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets, Loans & Financing and Financial Services each contain deals and transactions that highlight the depth of expertise in Ireland's financial and professional services. Especially evident in this year's list of nominations is a large increase in the level of deals that combine Irish world-leading sectoral expertise - for instance securitisation and aircraft leasing. Another trend evident is the use of Irish specialist expertise in large global deals from Spain to Australia to South Korea. While multi-billion euro deals feature strongly as in recent years there is a noticeable growth in nominations involving Irish SMEs gaining access to financing to drive their growth strategies.
The winning deals in last year's Finance Dublin Deals of the Year Awards recognised the achievements of a record year in corporate finance and financial services dealmaking, reflected in a record level of nominations for the awards - 155 nominations, compared with 111 in 2015. The 29 Winning Deals in 2016 profiled in the case studies of this Special Report celebrated the combination of talent, innovation and professionalism that is helped put Ireland at the top of Europe’s economic growth tables.
