Best bank - Aval Bank
Best debt house - Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein
Aval Bank and Privatbank dominate the banking sector in the Ukraine, and are of similar sizes. However, Aval is slightly bigger in terms of assets, number of accounts for legal entities and size of credit-investment portfolio. It also has a better reputation, both among competitors and customers.
Competitors have become annoyed by some of Privatbank's tactics. A recent survey also found that Ukrainians thought Aval was the most trustworthy bank.
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein wins the best debt award for the Ukraine for lead-managing the country's last three bond issues on international debt markets.
