HSBC has risen to the top of the debt capital market bookrunner league table for Europe, the Middle East and Africa so far this year, breaking the stranglehold that rivals Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank have had over the top spot for at least the past three years.
The UK bank ranks first as bookrunner of all DCM deals across currencies in the Emea region in the year to June 20, having underwritten 235 bond issues worth about $82bn (â¬53bn), giving it a market share of 7.4%, according to financial data provider Dealogic.
