The Iberian Peninsula is on the cutting edge of Europe’s cleantech revolution. It is believed that the industry will create some 2.65 million new jobs and mobilize €150 billion in investment across the region by 2030. These impressive figures are revealed in a new report headed up by BBVA and Cleantech for Iberia, a coalition set up to drive the potential of Spain and Portugal as a clean energy hub in the European Union.
BBVA's banking services and corporate client relationship model have garnered top recognition from Global Finance this year, following previous wins in 2019, 2021 and 2023. Through these services, the bank offers companies solutions that help boost sales, reduce costs, manage financial risks, and strengthen relationships with various stakeholders.
Winners of the ‘World’s Best Bank Awards’ were selected based on performance over the past year and other criteria including reputation and management excellence. Global Finance’s editorial board made the selections with input from corporate financial executives, analysts and bankers throughout the world. “For over thirty years, corporate and banking leaders have turned to Global Finance’s Best bank awards to identify financial partners who not only excel in their offerings but also adapt and innovate in an ever-evolving market,” stated Joseph D. Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance.
