African Media Agency (AMA)/ Attijariwafa Bank, Standard Bank, GTBank, and Nedbank are among the shortlisted finalists for African Banker magazine’s 2014 African Banker Awards.

The recently disclosed shortlist reveals the banks and financial institutions in the running for the top prizes available for the eighth edition of this competition. The final winners will be announced at the prestigious Awards ceremony and gala dinner on the 21st May in Kigali, Rwanda, during the African Development Bank Annual Meetings.

Omar Ben Yedder, Group Publisher of African Banker magazine and head of the African Banker Awards Committee, said: “It has been encouraging and fascinating to read the entries in the deal of the year categories, which are the most competitive of the lot. The transactions are encouraging because of their level of sophistication and also they highlight the amount of activity now taking place throughout the continent, some of which transformative, such as what we are seeing in the power sector. Another encouraging aspect is the fact that many of these deals are being financed and structured by local African banks in conjunction with global partners.”

The African Banker Awards was one of the first events created exclusively for the sector to celebrate and recognise the individuals and financial institutions contributing to the rapid modernisation of Africa’s banking industry and to changed perceptions of the continent’s domestic and international markets. It remains the only competition event exclusively for the African banking community to be endorsed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the High Patron of the event and the leading sponsor. The AfDB, celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, will hold their Annual Meetings in Kigali, Rwanda from the 19th – 23rd May 2014.
