The cited sources are (1) a press release, (2) coverage of the press conference announcing the launching of the bank, and (3) a photo caption.

Searches of the usual Google types found one independent article about the government threatening to penalize the bank (and 21 of the country's 54 other merchant banks) for not managing any IPO for two years. There's also one article about an industry award, Euromoney#The Euromoney Awards for Excellence, that is made to sound as if it's hot stuff.[2] But every year about 1,000 banks self-nominate for a couple hundred awards by the organization. Editor JzG has written, "Most industry awards exist as an excuse for a night out on expenses." These awards look like a prime example of that.
