Investment Banking

Across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, companies are looking to implement more optimised capital structures.

Meanwhile, inbound and outbound M&A activity is maturing, while new financing realities are driving governments to pursue privatisations and embrace public-private partnership. As a result, full-service investment banking services are in great demand across the region.
