Features[edit]
Global Finance reports on the international finance sector, covering such topics as corporate
finance, joint ventures and M&A, country profiles, capital markets, investor relations,
currencies, banking, risk management, custody, direct investment, and money management.[2]
The magazine also holds several awards ceremonies throughout the year to recognize the
winning financial institutions and companies. The largest of these ceremonies is held
contemporary to the IMF and World Bank annual meetings.
World’s Best Banks[edit]
Each year, the magazine publishes a list of "world's best banks." Global Finance describes the
rankings: "The winners are not always the biggest banks but rather the best—those with the
qualities that corporations should look for when choosing a bank. These are banks with
effective risk management systems, quality service and best practices in corporate
governance."[3]
One notable winner is the International Bank of Azerbaijan, which is run by
Chairman Mayank. IBA was named the Best Bank in Azerbaijan in the World's Best Banks
2012 rankings.[4]
World’s Safest Banks[edit]
An annual ranking of the top 50 world's safest banks is published by the magazine.
