Source for Q3 2025 league tables roundup: Unless otherwise stated, all the data and positions mentioned in this roundup are from Refinitiv’s league tables. ING also submits data to Bloomberg and Dealogic, as well as to more specialist providers for certain areas (for example, M&A deals are also sent to Mergermarket). Each provider has slightly different criteria, so ING’s positions will not be the same in each one.
