IDLC Investments Limited has secured three major recognitions across two Euromoney award programmes in 2026, cementing its status as one of the leading capital market institutions in Bangladesh.
At the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, the institution was named Bangladesh’s Best Equity Capital Markets (ECM) House and Best Debt Capital Markets (DCM) House, reads a press release.
Additionally, its Tk1.88 billion Green Islamic Syndicated Financing for Akij Bakers Limited was recognised as Bangladesh’s Best Islamic Project Finance Deal at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026.
These awards reflect the firm’s integrated capabilities across equity and debt capital markets, structured finance, advisory, and underwriting services.
In the equity sector, IDLC Investments managed the Tk3.03 billion rights issue for Berger Paints Bangladesh Limited, which stood as the only significant public equity issuance in 2025.
The transaction, executed at an 11,000% premium over face value, established a new benchmark for rights issue structuring in the country.
The firm’s debt capital markets franchise also saw expansion through various instruments, including zero-coupon bonds, subordinated bonds, and preference shares.
The award-winning deal for Akij Bakers Limited was highlighted for its innovative structure, combining Shariah-compliant financing with Bangladesh Bank’s Green Refinancing framework to support sustainable industrial growth.
IDLC Finance PLC Group Managing Director and CEO M Jamal Uddin said the recognitions from Euromoney reinforce the firm’s commitment to innovation and market leadership.
“As Bangladesh’s financial sector continues to evolve, our focus remains on creating sophisticated capital market solutions that enable businesses to grow sustainably,” he said.
IDLC Investments Limited Managing Director Mesbah Uddin Ahmed added that winning both the Best ECM and DCM House awards alongside the Islamic finance recognition reflects the strength of their integrated investment banking platform.
He noted that these achievements inspire the team to continue setting new benchmarks for the industry.
As the national capital market continues to mature, IDLC Investments remains focused on delivering high-impact solutions and supporting the long-term development of the financial sector.
