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.

More likely, there is a significant amount of rescheduling happening behind the scenes, which is not totally clear on the surface. At the same time, there can be a shifting of certain assets (like loans) into held-to-maturity or other asset accounts, which obfuscate the analysis or need for NPL disclosure. The impact of this will be worsening net interest income and margins, which is what banks are now…

There has been much discussion about China’s wish to implement economic reforms and – specifically – to deleverage. However, the reality is that corporate debt continues to rise faster than the economy. The economy is slowing down but the accumulation of debt continues.In 2014, Standard and Poor’s (S&amp;P) <a href="https://www.globalcreditportal.com/ratingsdirect/renderArticle.do?articleId=1333627&amp;SctArtId=243858&amp;from=CM&amp;nsl_code=LIME&amp;sourceObjectId=8645884&amp;sourceRevId=10&amp;fee_ind=N&amp;exp_date=20240616-20:32:13" target="_blank">outlined their view</a> of how China’s corporate debt was going to develop over the five years between 2013 and 2018, stating that it would grow from US$14.2tn to US$22.9tn - an annual growth rate of…
