Kuwait Commercial Banking Report Q2 2009
Business Monitor International, June 2009, Pages: 56
The Kuwait Commercial Banking Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Kuwait's commercial banking sector.
In Q209 BMI is making a number of changes which the publisher hopes will substantially improve the impact and value of our reports on the commercial banking sectors of various countries.
Since the commercial banking reports were introduced in mid-2004, the publisher has sought to generate insights by collecting and combining information from a number of sources. They have collated data pertinent to entire commercial banking sectors that has been published by central banks, regulators and/or trade associations, as well as basic information concerning individual market participants. They have also considered BMI’s current views on the economic outlook for the country in question. Many aspects have been – and continue to be – brought together in a systematic way through our proprietary Commercial Bank Business Environment Ratings (CBBER), which facilitate cross-country comparisons. The key changes in Q209 and what they mean for readers are as follows:
Comprehensively Upgraded Database
The publisher has now incorporated as much data as they can for 2008. They have also considered the size of total bank assets, client loans, capital and client deposits in relation to the overall economy, as well as in absolute terms. They have calculated figures in local currency terms, US dollar terms and euro terms. They have extended their forecast horizon out to 2013. They have also improved the coverage of historical data in this report.
Concise Analysis Of The Sector
The structural strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of commercial banking do not usually change much from quarter-to-quarter. Nevertheless, they need to be explained in some clarity – even if only to provide a context for the rest of the report. The report has re-examined and (in most cases) substantially extended the SWOT analysis. Much more than previously, the SWOT analysis represents an ‘at a glance’ overview of what really matters for the overall commercial banking sector.
Broader And Deeper International Context
For a very long time before the global financial crisis reached a critical phase in mid-September 2008, commercial banking was inherently international in nature. In other words, it was a rare commercial banking sector indeed that was totally isolated from cross-border influences. However, as a result of the crisis, international influences have become even more important than before. In response to this, the report has extended the range of countries whose commercial banking sectors is considered each quarter by 11 – Bahrain, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, the UK, the US and Vietnam are now analysed. Our reports also include new Global and Regional Outlooks.
Deeper Economic Analysis
The report includes more extensive coverage of the publisher's views of the economic outlook for each country. It also includes a section that deals with monetary and exchange rate policy.
Clearer Identification Of Protagonists
The report now look more closely at the mandates of central banks, regulators and trade associations.
Clearer Definition Of The Commercial Banking Universe
The report now includes a specific definition of the universe of commercial banks in each country. In most cases, it also include a comprehensive list of identifiable institutions. (The main exception to this is the US, where the list is confined to the 50 largest banks in terms of deposits.) By defining the commercial banking universe, and listing a much greater number of institutions that are active in each country, the publisher hopes that their reports are of much greater value to other researchers.
New Company Profiles
In Q209, the report includes 10 brief profiles of leading banks in each of the countries that are covered. The publisher will add additional profiles in coming months. Wherever possible, the publisher has tried to quantify the total assets, client loans, bond portfolio, client deposits and capital of each institution. Eventually, it should be possible for us to profile most – or indeed all – of the banks that are active in the countries that we follow.
