This is also the sixth consecutive year that TAS has been awarded by IJGlobal, winning the two regional awards presented, for North America and APAC.

“It is an honour to receive these awards from IJGlobal and testament to the dedication and excellent service that we strive to offer to our clients,” said Paul Maley, Global Head of Trust and Agency Services and Securities Services. He concluded, “This last year was defined by projects of increasing scale and complexity, with increasing lifecycles and bespoke financing structures. The overall increase in demand has meant that our team has continued to excel and increase the breath of services we provide. The longstanding expertise of Deutsche Bank colleagues enables us to consistently and reliably meet the evolving needs of a demanding market.”

IJ Global is a key repository of data, intelligence and analysis covering all aspects of the international infrastructure and energy industry. These much-coveted awards are made by an independent judging committee comprising established infrastructure/energy world professionals.

Ongoing economic growth, population increases, and rapid urbanisation – as well as increased electricity demand for data centres and artificial intelligence – are pushing up consumption. The International Energy Agency Global Energy Review 2025 reports that electricity demand in 2024 surged by 4.3% “well above the 3.2% growth in global GDP, driven by record temperatures, electrification and digitalisation” and renewables accounted for the largest share of the growth in global energy supply at 38%.¹
