Deutsche Bank is on course to top the equity capital markets bookrunner rankings in Europe, the Middle East and Africa for the first quarter – the first time it will have done so during this period in almost a decade.
The German bank is ranked top in Dealogic's preliminary first quarter ECM rankings, which compare equity volumes for this year to March 26 with the full first quarter of 2012. The complete figures for the first quarter of 2013 will be finalised after Monday.
