IJGlobal is delighted today (13 July) to announce the winners of our coveted awards for company activity and transactions closed over the calendar year of 2019 across Middle East and North Africa.

We would have been presenting these awards at The Oberoi, Dubai, in March – the IJGlobal awards season – but this was sadly cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, following close consultation with our partners and clients.

Winners in the institutional category were voted on by senior figures from across the regional infrastructure and energy community – none allowed to vote in their own business areas – in what is widely regarded to be the most independently-judged awards in this sector.

Today we publish our awards issue of the IJGlobal Magazine – in digital format only due to Covid-19 – in which we delve into far greater detail on the below winners.
