Asian bank research and consultancy

Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics. 

Asian bank research, without the noise.

Insights across South East Asia

A Smartkarma webinar with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-mandiri-persero-tbk-pt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:441:1" rel="noopener">Bank Mandiri Persero (BMRI IJ)</a> this week revealed a bank well-positioned to benefit from the gradual economic recovery taking place in Indonesia.
The bank has a new management team, which is focused on its 5-year corporate plan, "beyond lending", which involves more cross-selling to wholesale clients to extract value and increasing its digital banking capabilities.
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-mandiri-persero-tbk-pt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:441:1" rel="noopener">Bank Mandiri Persero (BMRI IJ)</a> has seen significant reductions in funding costs as well as a marked improvement in its liquidity position, with a loans to deposit ratio of only 83%.
It has seen its restructured loans plateau out and provisions continue to come down, with credit costs likely to peak by end of 2020 at 3.5% before falling in 2021. 
Loan growth has started to pick up for property and auto segments but loans are still focused on working capital rather than investment as yet. 
Mobile banking has overtaken ATMs in terms of transaction value for the first time and this brings with it significant cost savings. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-mandiri-persero-tbk-pt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:441:1" rel="noopener">Bank Mandiri Persero (BMRI IJ)</a> will launch a super App next year to expand the scope of its digital business.
