<p>The global market sentiments are in agony lately due to the vicious Covid-19 which is yet to loom in many geographies. Moreover, the fact that the Indian indices are burning coupled with lack of a stern banking system simply aids in the macroeconomic woes of the country.

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.

<p>We wonder if the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/16381" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16381:1">Jet Airways India (JETIN IN)</a> flight cancellations are some of the most visible signs of liquidity freezing up? There are plenty of companies in India with much more debt, and where the ability to service loans is far worse. The bad loan cycle is well in place. The risk is that this worsens due to lack of liquidity.  The largest 50 debtors in India account for 63% of debt in our corporate sample set. Some 17 of these companies have interest coverage at low levels, averaging 0.7x as at FY18. Where liquidity was their lifeline, for those holding on, the risk is of default rises.</p>
