The financial publication has distinguished BBVA with the Best Investment Bank awards in Spain, Mexico, Peru and Türkiye, and has also recognized its leadership in infrastructure finance in Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in debt markets in the latter region.
These awards consolidate BBVA’s global footprint in investment banking and reinforce its positioning in strategic markets across Europe and the Americas. Taken together, they recognize the strength of an integrated Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) model that combines strategic advisory, access to capital markets and structured financing solutions to support clients in key transactions that drive growth and long-term value creation.
In Spain, BBVA has consolidated its position as one of the leading advisory and financing institutions, offering a broad range of capabilities across complex M&A transactions, capital markets execution, corporate lending and sophisticated structured finance solutions. In a particularly competitive and mature market, the bank has supported high-profile transactions, from IPOs to large-scale renewable energy financings, strengthening its role in sustainable finance.
This positioning extends to Latin America, where the Group BBVA maintains a strong presence in strategic markets. In Mexico, BBVA holds a leading position in M&A by number of transactions, as well as in DCM, syndicated loans and project finance, consolidating its role as a key financial partner for corporates and institutions. In Peru, 2025 has been a particularly dynamic year, with a leading role in advising and financing acquisitions in the energy and telecommunications sectors and in the structuring and placement of sustainable instruments in regional markets.
In Türkiye, Garanti BBVA has achieved this international recognition thanks to its strong activity in advisory, structured finance, and capital markets, combining deep local expertise with international distribution capabilities and consistent execution in a complex macroeconomic environment.
