Features

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

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

An annual ranking of the top 50 world's safest banks is published by the magazine.
