We are pleased to announce that on the10th year of our Retail Banking Awards, and the 4th year of our Wholesale Banking Awards, we gave out the most number of awards to deserving Asian banks. We are immensely proud to have produced a long and esteemed roster of winners composed solely of Asia’s most impressive banks. In this issue, we feature an exclusive coverage of the event that lets you re-experience the night through the photo gallery. We are also at this year’s Sibos which will be held in Singapore, and we asked a couple of bankers to give us their two cents on the issues that will be discussed in what is deemed to be the world’s premier financial services event.
