Slovakia Commercial Banking Report Q2 2009
Business Monitor International, June 2009, Pages: 60
The Slovakia Commercial Banking Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Slovakia's commercial banking sector.
In Q209 we are making a number of changes which we hope will substantially improve the impact and value of our reports on the commercial banking sectors of various countries.
Since we introduced the commercial banking reports in mid-2004, we have sought to generate insights by combining information from a number of sources. We have collated data pertinent to the entire commercial banking sector that has been published by central banks, regulators and/or trade associations. We have collated basic information concerning individual market participants. We 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
- We have now incorporated as much data as possible for 2008. We 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. We have calculated figures in local currency terms, US dollar terms and euro terms. We have extended our forecast horizon out to 2013. We 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 – to provide a context for the rest of the report. We have re-examined and (in most cases) substantially extended the SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis now 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 rare that a commercial banking sector was totally isolated from cross-border influences. However, international influences have become even more important as a result of the crisis. In response to this, we have extended the range of countries whose commercial banking sectors we consider 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
- We include more extensive coverage of BMI’s views of the economic outlook for each country. We also include a section that deals with monetary and exchange rate policy.
Clearer Identification Of Protagonists
- We now look more closely at the mandates of central banks, regulators and trade associations.
Clearer Definition Of The Universe
- We now include a specific definition of the universe of commercial banks in each country. In most cases, we also include a comprehensive list of identifiable institutions. (The main exception to this is the US, where we confine the list to the 50 largest banks in terms of deposits.) By defining the universe, and listing a much greater number of institutions that are active in each country, we hope that our 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. Additional profiles will be added 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 view as the key issues in this report.
