ECM fees fell 42% after a record-setting 2021.

Investment banking fees in Asia Pacific, excluding Japan, reached an estimated $15b in the first half of 2022, down 9% compared to the first six months of 2021, according to data compiled by Refinitiv.

Refinitiv attributed this to the region “witnessing the strongest period [in investment banking activities] last year.”
