The latest league tables from Thomson Reuters, for the year to end of October 2017, shows that ANZ retained its spot at number three on the Asia-Pacific (ex-Japan) mandated arranger table (US$12.3 billion; 61 deals).The next highest ranked Australian bank was CBA, with a US$7.6 billion share of loans arranged. Westpac is at number 15 (US$5.9 billion).Likewise, the year-to-date bookrunner league tables for APAC (ex-Japan) has ANZ at number three with loans from 32 sources. But these league tables are more flattering to the other Big Four banks, with CBA at number seven (US$5.9 billion from 31 loans arranged); NAB at number ten (US$4.8 billion from 24 deals) and Westpac, at number 11, with a similar amount of loans of arranged loans as NAB.Back on home turf, ANZ still holds a firm lead over its rivals in the Australasian mandated loan arranger stakes (at nearly US$8.4 billion). Coming into the final straight before year's end as the last of the Big Four report their annual results, in second spot is CBA, with just shy of US$7 billion from 60 deals; Westpac is at number three (just over US$7 billion, from 58 deals); and NAB (US$4.4 billion, 58 deals).Australasia loan volume reached US$61.2 billion and 172 deals were closed in Australasia by end of October 2017.
