Thomson Reuters LPC's monthly Asia-Pacific regional loan league tables for the year to 31 May 2017 have shown the local and regional heavyweights are still securing large mandates from their corporate clients. Among the APAC regional highlights this month:•    Asia Pacific (ex Japan) YTD 2017 loan volume has reached US$110.4 billion, barely ahead of the regional loan volumes recorded for just the first quarter of the 2016 calendar year;•    Bank of China, with US$15.2 billion from 152 loans to its credit (13.7 per cent market share), tops the APAC mandated arranger league table, which covers all markets other than Japan; and•    HSBC heads the Asia mandated arranger league table, which excludes Japan and RMB-denominated loans.Among Australia's banks, ANZ remains the most competitive, sitting third on the APAC (ex-Japan) mandated arranger table. ANZ is the only Australian bank in the year-to-date top 15 and has been involved in almost US$5.5 billion in syndicated and club loans from 54 deals, and has almost five per cent market share. Closer to home, the Australasian mandated arranger tables show ANZ's corporate loan dealmakers have been active in its home market, too, arranging the equivalent of almost US$3.4 billion from 30 deals, ahead of Commonwealth Bank (US$1.5 billion, 19 deals) and Westpac (US$1.3 billion, 30 deals). The Big Four's dominance of their home market was split by China Construction Bank (US$1.3 billion from just three deals) in fourth spot, ahead of NAB (US$1.2 billion, 21 deals).YTD bookrunners in Australia and New Zealand markets are still dominated by ANZ (US$2.5 billion in loans, from 11 deals, giving the Blue Bank a 21.7 percent market share), ahead of its Big Four rivals - CBA (nine deals, 13 per cent share), Westpac (9.7 per cent) and NAB (11.6 per cent), with HSBC (four deals and an 8.2 per cent share of this aspect of the loan market) the best performed of the global banks.
