The great and the good of the regional infrastructure finance community gathered last night in the Sheraton Grand London in Park Lane to celebrate IJGlobal Awards 2022 for Europe and Africa.

In front of a packed room, the evenings hosts – IJGlobal content director Angus Leslie Melville and comedy badass Naomi Cooper – presented a host of awards to recognise achievements in the 2022 calendar year.

To read the (open access) stories on the winners, follow these links:

• Europe & Africa Company Winners
• European Deal Winners
• African Deal Winners

In total 12 awards were handed out for greenfield European transactions and 4 refinancings. A total of 4 deals – all of them greenfield – were awarded across Sub Saharan Africa.

On the companies front, 13 organisations – all of them chosen by the independent panel of judges – were recognised for their achievements at the awards night.

An innovation for this year saw the judging panel challenged with identifying their choice of winner. This involved debate over which organisations have been most influential across the region… and resulted in them choosing a government body that is not even in the region!

IJGlobal will next Thursday (16 March) stage the awards night for the Americas – hosted in association with Wilmington Trust – at the utterly splendid Guastavino’s in New York.
