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.

It is hard to envisage a positive reading of the abysmal 6.1% YoY fixed asset investment growth in China for May 2018 year-to-date. Headlines and commentators have urged that a recovery in China is underway for some time. If this were so, fixed asset investment growth would not likely be on a downward trend for so long, while now reaching the lowest point in our time series that spans 23 years.  Perhaps as interesting, is that the average rate of growth of all the YTD periods is 20.0%.

A recent Bloomberg article titled "China's about to give global finance the chance of a lifetime" made me smile. In the article Bloomberg predicts that in the thirteen years between 2017 and 2030 foreign bank assets will rise from RMB 3.2 Trillion to RMB 18.8 Trillion (a CAGR of 15%) taking their market share from 1.3% to 3.1%. The underlying assumption seems to be that total bank assets will grow at a CAGR of 7%. Given bank assets currently equal about 3x GDP, one assumes that 7% is also the…

The largest four banks in China have an implicit guarantee from the government; are ubiquitous across the country; have a huge and sticky low-cost deposit base; and are considered the cornerstone of the country’s banking system. Growth in funding costs in the latest year at these four banks is pedestrian at +6% YoY. They operate in a different realm to city and regional banks. Average funding costs rose 29% last year for China’s 23 other banks. Even this belies the 40-72% growth in funding for…
