Macquarie takes top position in project finance advisory league tables

30 January 2003

LONDON - Macquarie achieved the No.1 ranking for both Americas and for Asia Pacific for project finance advisory mandates won during 2002. The results saw Macquarie move to No.2 in the Global Top 10, up from third position for 2001.

“These results reflect Macquarie’s continued focus on the infrastructure sector and our ability to develop unique and innovative financing solutions, particularly in the difficult market conditions of the past year,” said Jim Craig, Head of Corporate Finance for Macquarie in Europe.

Thomson Financial Project Finance League Tables, the global guide to project finance activity, were released last week by Project Finance International.
