EFG Hermes provides clients with tailored debt capital markets advice covering a full range of financing solutions, including but not limited to debt raising, refinancing, restructuring, acquisition financing, as well as bond and sukuk issuances.
EFG Hermes expanded the breadth of its DCM offering by creating a specialized team to handle all DCM activities, including bonds and sukuk. The Firm has since become a pioneer in the Egyptian sukuk and bond space, having successfully introduced the first sukuk deal, first short-term note, and first securitized bond in the Egyptian market.
Bond and sukuk issuances are serviced by EFG Hermes’ securitization and sukuk subsidiaries and special purpose vehicles EFG Hermes Securitization, Financial Group for Securitization, and EFG Hermes Sukuk. This one-stop- shop solution for all client debt raising needs allows the Firm to provide the market with an integrated service offering including financial advisory, underwriting, arrangement, and bond maintenance services.
The Firm’s extensive capabilities in the debt capital market space have garnered numerous awards, including Best Debt Bank in Africa by Global Finance in 2021 after closing 13 different transactions, most notably Talaat Moustafa Group’s EGP 2.0 billion sukuk issuance, which was awarded the Sukuk Deal of the Year by Global Finance in 2021.
