Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/34be1b/vietnam_commercial)
has announced the addition of the "Vietnam
Commercial Banking Report Q4 2009" report to their offering.
This Vietnam Commercial Banking Report provides industry professionals
and strategists, corporate analysts, banking associations, government
departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and
competitive intelligence on Vietnam's commercial banking industry
The publisher now rates 59 banking systems, and it is little surprise
that the developed states dominate the top spots. The US and UK come
first and second place, respectively, with scores of 88.7 and 88.0 out
of 100. Of crucial importance to both scores is the very high rankings
in the crucial 'Risks to realization of returns -Market structure'
sub-category, which accounts for 42% of the overall score. The two
countries are ranked first and second in this category as well. This
sub-category captures the size of the sector, and the potential for
assets and loans to grow in US dollar terms. While both systems have
been buffeted by the global credit crunch and will not post stellar
growth numbers in percentage terms for the foreseeable future, the sheer
size of the US and UK's financial systems means that there is massive
potential for deposits, assets and client loans to rise. In addition,
the generally solid institutional framework - which looks set to be
augmented with new post-credit crunch regulations - will continue to
provide a firm basis for the sector.
A Mixed Bag for the Developed States: Following just behind the US and
UK are a clutch of major developed state economies, including France
(82.9, 3rd) and Germany (80.5, 4th globally), Canada (79.9, fifth), as
well as Australia and Italy (78.4, joint sixth). All of these sectors
have reasonable prospects into the medium term, having a large deposit
and loan base, as well as the potential to grow substantially in volume
(even if not percentage) terms. However, several states are notable by
their absence in this cluster. Austria falls somewhat short (72.4, 12th)
of the pack, along with Greece (69.4, 16th), but it is the poor
performance of Switzerland (62.7, 26th) and Japan (56.3, 34th) which
really stands out. Both states are going to struggle to post increases
in asset or loan growth in US dollar terms over the forecast period, to
2013, partially as a result of currency moves to the downside, but also
in the case of Switzerland because of the relative weakness of the two
key banking groups, UBS and Credit Suisse which had built up large
franchises during the good years.
Asia Rising: Significantly, just behind the main 'pack' of European
economies, several Asian states have managed to post strong performances
in their risk ratings. Malaysia (72.1, 11th) and Singapore (77.1, 8th)
come in ahead of Austria. However, Singapore leads the world globally in
the 'Risks to realization of returns -Country risk' sub-category, with a
score of 84.0, while South Korea has a score of 64.0. Singapore's high
score rests on good scores for key elements of BMI's economic, political
and business environment risk ratings, which measure the risks to policy
continuity. In contrast, the small size of the economy and banking
sector is a major factor limiting the potential for expansion,
especially in a world of lower liquidity and risk appetite. South Korea,
however, has a large domestic economy to provide the deposit base
necessary to fund credit growth.
Elsewhere in Asia, the publisher notes that China (overall score 75.1)
ranks 9th overall. As the world's third biggest economy - and still an
emerging one at that - it is little surprise that the scope for asset
growth in China is huge. This has allowed the country to be ranked
fourth in the 'Limits of potential returns' category (74.0),and post the
highest 'Limits of potential returns - Market structure' sub-category
score, at 90.0. What prevents China from rising any higher is its poor
performance in the 'Limits of potential returns - Country structure'
sub-category, at 57.5 (42nd), and the 'Risk to realization of returns
category', at 80.0 (9th). Of particular concern to BMI is the potential
for a collapse of the local system, because much lending is still state
directed and risk management is still embryonic. In addition, despite
the size of the whole economy, per capita GDP remains low. The publisher
forecasts it at US$3,024 for 2009, with significant income inequalities.
This severely limits the ability of financial institutions to sell
premium products in the local markets, and also means that average
deposit levels are still very low.
