Nomura provides investment and merchant banking services across 18 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The financial turmoil of 2008 gave the company the opportunity to make a series of bold moves and establish a pre-eminent position as a world-class global investment bank. This involved adopting a new client-centric model where clients can draw on the expertise and resources of Nomura's franchise in a seamless way.
Significant enhancements were made to our investment banking platform, global distribution, structuring expertise and product capabilities.
Here you can get a quick overview of the basic structure of each business area and how Nomura has used recent events to build a truly global view.
