Spain & Portugal

In Spain and Portugal, J.P. Morgan is a leader in the local financial markets and among the top international banks in all products. The firm has strong client relationships with key executives of major local corporates, financial institutions, governments, family-owned businesses and private clients. The business is focused on credit and rates markets, debt and equity capital markets, asset management, M&A and advisory, private banking, and treasury and securities services.

J.P. Morgan's presence in Portugal dates back to 1973, while its presence in Spain dates back to 1949, when Chase National Bank made its first loan to Spain, a $25 million credit secured by gold. In 1962, Chase Manhattan Bank opened a representative office — followed by Morgan Guaranty three years later. In 1979, Chase and Morgan opened Madrid branch offices.  

In 1987, J.P. Morgan led the first two matador bond issues. Three years later, J.P. Morgan launched a 10 billion pesata bond issue for the Kingdom of Denmark. This was the first time a debt issue was brought to market in Spain for a foreign sovereign government.
