On March 31, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Appeals Tribunal largely upheld the findings of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) against Moody’sInvestors Service. Moody’s has received a public reprimand and an HK$11 million (S$1.9 million) fine for various failings related to a report issued in July of 2011 that searched for “red flags” on various issues for a number of Chinese companies. We, like many others in financial markets across the region, are perplexed both with the SFC’s prosecution of Moody’s and the tribunal’s decision. While the SFC probably feels that it has scored a victory for the market integrity of Hong Kong, it has instead stunted the development of the offshore debt market for Chinese companies,misallocated its own enforcement resources and, intentionally or not, let itself be seen as responding to negative commentary on companies that issue securities in Hong Kong.

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.

The NPL crisis is upon us in China. It’s playing out even if it appears slow.Some of the first movers to show NPLs provide a guide as to what to expect for the more late bloomers.  The former group includes more foreign names and less mainstream banks. The latter group includes the large SOE banks and mainstream large banks.Along with a risk of rising NPLs, China's banks will also have to face liquidity, capital and off-balance sheet risks.
