INDIA: CPI Inflation at 22 Month High – Rate Cut Unlikely

As the global financial markets grapple with the decision taken by the UK to exit the EU, it is clear that the question of future referendums in other member countries and potential exits will likely dominate the headlines in the coming months. The Indian economy has seen its total exports decline for 18 straight months, hurt by an overvalued exchange rate as well as a weak global economy. The uncertainty that will likely unfold in the major EU countries and especially the Eurozone (EZ) will add…

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.

These are mostly the subsidiaries of banks in other regions, including Asia. The immediate concern is how banks adjust their risk-weightings on their UK assets. S&amp;P and Moody's downgrades, will also affect UK bank counterparty risk. The more distant concern is the outlook for impairments on some of these assets, namely loans and corporate bonds. UK assets to group…
