Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s head of equity-linked origination for Europe, Middle East and Africa is this week’s investment banker of the week following a busy fortnight, where he worked on the two largest deals in his sector of the year.

Yacine Amor, who joined Bank of America Merrill Lynch in 2009 from Deutsche Bank and has over a decade of experience in the equity-linked business, helped Fonciere des Regions raise €550m on May 19 and Middle Eastern investor Aabar €1.25bn earlier this week.
