Greece Commercial Banking Report Q2 2009
Business Monitor International, June 2009, Pages: 42
The Greece Commercial Banking Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Greece's commercial banking sector.
In Q209 the publisher has made a number of changes which they hope will substantially improve the impact and value of their reports on the commercial banking sectors of various countries.
Since the publisher introduced the commercial banking reports in mid-2004, they have sought to generate insights by combining information from a number of sources. They have collated data pertinent to entire commercial banking sectors that have been published by central banks, regulators and/or trade associations. They have collated 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 their 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 report has now incorporated as much data as they can for 2008. The publisher 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 detail – even if only so that they may provide a context for the rest of the report. The publisher 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 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, international influences have become even more important than before as a result of the crisis. In response to this, the publisher has extended the range of countries whose commercial banking sectors the publisher considers each quarter by 11; Bahrain, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, the UK, the US and Vietnam are now analysed. The report also includes new Global and Regional Outlooks.
Deeper Economic Analysis
- The report includes more extensive coverage of BMI’s views of the economic outlook for each country. The publisher also includes a section that deals with monetary and exchange rate policy.
Clearer Identification Of Protagonists
- The report now looks 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 includes a comprehensive list of identifiable institutions (the main exception to this is the US, where it confines the list to the 50 largest banks in terms of deposits). By defining the commercial banking universe, and listing a greater number of active institutions in each country, it is hoped that the publisher's reports are of much greater value to other researchers.
New Company Profiles
- In Q209 we have sought to include 10 brief profiles of leading banks in each of the countries that we cover. We will add additional profiles in coming months. Wherever possible, we have 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.
Naturally, we will continue to improve the structure and content of the reports over time. The extended Commercial Banking SWOT Analysis below summarises what we see as the key issues in this report.
