It's spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and the spring issue of Risk Australia is now out - see here. For the first time, it included the Risk Australia Rankings. And while the top place was taken by Deutsche Bank, with Citi runner-up, local banks also made a strong showing: Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), National Australia Bank (NAB), ANZ and Westpac came third, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively, and dominated the currency sector.

The awards were presented by Risk editor Nick Sawyer on September 25 at the Westin Hotel in Sydney. Our photographer was on the scene and the results are here (the morning session) and here (the awards).
