Standard Chartered’s extensive knowledge of domestic markets, combined with product capabilities and a wide geographic reach, has seen us successfully match the needs of investors with the funding requirements of international and domestic issuers.
We have an established on-the-ground DCM platform that provides all clients with customised local and G3 currency debt financing solutions. The team is recognised as Asia’s leading bond house, providing clients with the most effective capital raising solutions. We have also arranged several cross border transactions – taking issuers from our footprint markets and assisting them to issue in other markets.
Our commitment to finding the right solutions means we excel at seeing deals through and, as a key player in local currency deals, we play an active role in the development of the capital markets within Asian, Middle East, South Asian and African debt markets.
Our DCM team is backed by effective sales and distribution in both onshore and offshore markets and supported by strong research.
