Mubasher: In association with the Arab Federation of Capital Markets (AFCM), Euromoney has announced the launch of the Capital Markets Awards (CMA), celebrating excellence in the industry and recognising outstanding achievements.
The programme is open to all applicants in the fields of securities exchange, brokerage, and post-trade services. Euromoney will be accepting submissions until 7 March 2025.
Head of Capital Markets at Euromoney, Laurie McAughtry, said: “We are building on the success of the industry-leading Awards for Excellence programme, which recognises the top performers in global banking across financial services. The Capital Markets Awards (CMA) initiative extends this prestigious recognition to a new range of market participants.”
Designed to recognise the best in breed across the key fields of market infrastructure and intermediary provision, categories include Best Broker; Best Exchange; Best Exchange for Innovation; Best Exchange for ESG; and Best Exchange for Financial Literacy.
This is in addition to other categories as Best Provider of Market Data and Analytics; Best Provider for Alternative Trading Technology; Best Post-Trade Services Provider; Best IPO Deal; and Best Corporate for ESG.
All awards categories are open for both global and regional submissions.
Euromoney is delighted to welcome the support of the Arab Federation of Capital Markets (AFCM) for the CMA programme, with a Gala Dinner for relevant regional winners held in Tunis on 13 May 2025 and hosted by AFCM. Celebrations for global and other regions will be announced in due course.
Secretary General at AFCM Rami El-Dokany, said: “We are delighted to partner with Euromoney and look forward to recognising those market players both within our region and worldwide who exert such great efforts to enhance their markets.”
El-Dokany noted: “We encourage all participants to enter these prestigious awards, and to showcase their achievements on a global scale.”
For over 30 years, Euromoney has recognised the banks and bankers that have demonstrated their differentiation, pioneering a comprehensive awards programme that remains the industry benchmark globally.
These awards honour the innovators and leaders in an industry where differentiation is highly sought after and exceptionally difficult to demonstrate.
It is worth noting that during the third edition of the Arab Federation of Capital Markets (AFCM) Annual Conference in 2024, Chairman of Mubasher Financial Group, Mohammed Al Ballaa, stated that the emergence of the fintech industry helped with the success witnessed in stock exchanges and different sectors over the past years.
