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.

We all know of the abysmal condition of India&rsquo;s state banks. Bank of India reports a harrowing rise in its NPLs. Punjab National, Canara, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Union Bank of India are all similarly worrying.These six banks are not inconsequential; they are the six most prolific banks in India, after the infamous State Bank of India.What is happening in India is not limited to the state banks, nor is this a benign NPL cycle. It is severe and likely to persist for some time....more below the fold.
