Uninspiring growth some might say. But the key performance indicators that we use for our strength ranking and the composition of this year’s AB300 do suggest an exciting story a reinforced and reshaped banking landscape that more clearly separates the winners from the losers. As our ranking of the largest and strongest banks in the region enters its fifth year running, it emerges as a powerful tool to distinguish the best from the rest. The 2006 ranking can be described as the "year of the conservative banks". The Hong Kong listed entities of HSBC and Hang Seng, Australia's Westpac and Singapore's OCBC, all considered very cautious banks with a history of lacklustre performance ratios, shined this year by balancing growth AB300: The averages suggest a wide berth between with a strong balance sheet. winners and losers The better banks are demonstrating sustainable growth 140 1.0% business models, better operating efficiencies, stronger 120 0.8% capital adequacy and healthier asset quality buffeted by 100 a surge in market consolidation and capital restructuring 0.6% 80 in 2006. 60 0.4% Despite its highly competitive marketplace, Hong Kong 40 0.2% had the greatest number banks in the top 50 strength 20 0.0% rankings with eleven entrants.

We should also highlight the performance of India’s Source: Asian Banker Research banks in this year's strength ranking. Although there were no Indian banks in the top 10, nine of the country’s banks broke into the top 50, second only to Hong Kong. The Indian economy is red-hot, as buoyant consumption and investment demand support the banking sector's regionally unparalleled balance sheet growth. India's private sector lenders like HDFC and ICICI deserve special mention for their ability to protect net interest margins and loan quality despite aggressive growth, which enhanced their earnings growth. The region can learn from these two banks. Nevertheless, there are still areas of concern for all banks. The average cost-to-income ratios of Asia's top 300 remain above 50 percent. ROAs hover around 0.8 percent, and ROEs are being challenged. The banking business still faces significant capital cost difficulties when assessed alongside other industries. The benefit of Basel II as a capital efficiency mechanism is not yet evident even though the number of compliant banks is increasing. The expansion of the balance sheet should not be at the expense of managing costs or of diversification into new and more stable fee-based business activities. Not enough has been done with regards to this over the past five years, and recent strong economic growth may render them too complacent to take appropriate measures. The better banks should continue their upward trajectory enabling them to reap investor rewards and withstand unexpected market shocks.

ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 7 ISSUE 72 The Asian Banker 7 9/17/07 11:41:44 AM T H E AS IA N B A N K E R The good getting better: Reshaping Asia’s banking landscape The region’s biggest 300 banks have cleaned up their balance sheets and are ready to pursue new growth opportunities By Benny Zhang 8 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 8 ISSUE 72 9/18/07 11:41:42 AM U pon first glance the AB300’s largest banks seem to be suffering from an enervating illness resulting in sluggish performance. Profits in 2006 only budged 7.8 percent to $118.2 billion after a virile 2005 that saw net year-onyear profit double to $109.7 billion. But a more careful diagnosis of the patients reveals that banks are suffering from nothing more than a hangover after the great party that was 2005. While 2006 net earnings growth pale in comparison to the previous year, other key performance indicators affirm that banks are indeed fit enough to meet new challenges in the years to come. A closer analysis of the AB300’s largest banks, the most comprehensive database of Asia Pacific’s biggest commercial banks, unearths a banking landscape that has been reinforced and reshaped. It is showing the life signs of improved and sustainable operating efficiency and capital adequacy, as well as a significantly healthier asset quality base. Continuous efforts to improve management capabilities instil a stronger sense of professionalism and encourage market consolidation. Meanwhile, capital restructuring initiatives were the key drivers of change in 2006. Sustainable asset book expansion Despite lacklustre earnings growth, overall loan growth of the 300 largest banks increased by a healthy 9.9 percent to $9.82 trillion last year on the back of stronger credit demand across emerging markets. This compares favourably with a 6.3 percent increase in 2005 and 4 percent increase in 2004. If Japanese banks are taken out of the equation, overall loan growth for the rest of the Asia Pacific region is significantly higher at 16.2 percent, compared to 9.2 percent in 2005. Japanese banks resumed lending in early 2006 in hopes of recovering after a decade of economic malaise, but optimism was short-lived as lending growth tapered in late 2006 after the central bank raised interest rates. Despite loan growth contraction, Japanese banks still represent 40 to 50 percent of assets among the AB300. Any significant recovery in profits from the Japanese will impact future AB300’s. The loan growth story varied countryto-country and bank-to-bank as markets are at different stages in their credit cycles. Generally though, credit demand trended lower in relatively developed markets, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, while it was higher in developing markets like India, China, Pakistan, Malaysia and Vietnam where banks basked in doubledigit loan growth rates. India’s white-hot economy, bolstered by a booming software industry, enabled banks to once again deliver the highest loan growth in Asia Pacific. Outsourcing and the re-emergence of the chemical industry as a major industrial driver bumped loan growth from 33.1 percent in 2005 to 35.1 percent in 2006. China’s dragons also made for an interesting story. Measures to cool the economy through several rounds of interest rate hikes and the imposition of new minimum deposit reserve ratios failed to make a dent. In fact, fast fixedasset investment growth brought higher than expected demand for credit, and the ballooning foreign trade surplus created more than enough liquidity for banks to lend to various sectors. On average, the 30 Chinese banks in the AB300 recorded 13.8 percent loan growth in 2006 compared to 5.7 percent in 2005. But China and India are not representative of all emerging markets. For Indonesia, once a star performer in the credit and loan universe three (Continued on page 10) What is the AB300? The Asian Banker 300 (AB300) is the fourth annual study of the financial and business performance of the commercial banking industry. The study comprises two different lists: the first ranks the top 300 banks in the region by asset size, and the second ranks those same 300 largest banks according to strength, predicated on a belief that a strong bank demonstrates long-term sustainable profitability from core businesses. Which banks are in the AB300? Banks from Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam are analysed in the AB300. In future we may consider banks from additional countries should their size increase. We don’t include central banks, policy banks or finance companies in the AB300. The focus is commercial banks and bank holding companies. How do we collect and treat the data? Bank annual reports and statistics provided by central banks or industry associations are our main sources. In the absence of up-to-date annual reports, we contact banks directly to source specific financial results. Whenever possible, consolidated figures are used for banking groups. An exception is made when non-banking activities account for a substantial portion of the consolidated figures. All figures are converted into US dollars by using exchange rates at the time that the latest financial year-end results are available from banks.

Sharp increases in interest rates in late 2005 to counter the effects of a jump in oil prices and subsequent skyrocketing inflation crimped consumers’ demand for credit to buy cars, motorcycles and other durables. Although the interest rate environment forced the average loan growth of the eight Indonesian banks in the AB300 to plunge to 13.1 percent from over 20 percent in the previous year’s report, there was a positive takeaway—it actually helped to widen the banks’ interest spread or profit margin, which substantially boosted net interest income growth to 16.1 percent in 2006 from 8.9 percent the previous year. 10 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 10 Meanwhile, banks in Taiwan also reported slower loan growth, as they struggled with cleaning up their asset books in the aftermath of the credit and debit card crisis. Negative sentiment even transferred to the mortgage and business loans segment as local banks began to rein in lending across the board. Regulators forcing banks to restructure their risk management processes and institute new efficient systems may have precipitated this trend. However, a constructive byproduct of the credit crisis is the banking industry’s long overdue start of the consolidation process as banks seek injections of capital from acquirers in order to stay afloat. It is interesting to note that in some developed Asian markets like South Korea and Australia, banks have pushed consumer and commercial lending growth to aggressive levels. So any fall in the housing market coupled with government initiatives to restrict liquidity for credit and loans may in fact drive loan growth to a sustainable level in the mid-term. Strong fundamentals One notable achievement for banks in the region is the continuous improvement in asset quality across nearly all markets—the average non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of the AB300 decreased from 6.4 percent to 3.4 percent (Continued on page 12) ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:41:56 AM AB ABJ sponsored statement Directory Index & Bank-specific Notes 16 Largest Banks in Greater China 44 Largest Banks in Southeast Asia / Largest Banks in South Asia 45 Performance Rankings 46 Asia Pacific’s Strongest Banks 50 Country Capsules 72 Driving better business outcomes in the financial services industry I n the rapidly changing financial services marketplace in Asia, the need for financial institutions to align their IT strategy to desired business outcomes is a critical requirement for success. The wide spread transformational changes that have taken place in the market, from mergers and acquisitions, SOX and regulatory compliance requirements to new tech savvy Gen X customers demands, has created a demanding environment for bank CIO’s to deliver results linked to measurable business outcomes. Adding to the complexity of the issue is the already considerable investment in technologies banks have made and the cost and risk in maintaining these legacy systems. In discussing these issues with HP’s Regional Director of Banking and Financial Services Industry Solutions in Asia Pacific, Mr. Patrick Thng, he states, “ We are in a new world of what we call business technology, where IT investments are measured in business outcomes. How does it improve speed to market, lower costs, mitigate risk, improve decision making or strengthen customer relationships. IT investments are prioritized against those business initiatives and requirements.” HP’s strategy for financial institutions is balanced across three main strategic imperatives: how to drive business growth, meet regulatory requirements and improve efficiency. Mr. Sockalingam Muthiah, Director of Financial Services Industry of HP Services, believes that the complexity facing banks in driving product innovation, new delivery channels integration and enhancing customer relationships, presents substantial challenges in back end integration and demands on their IT infrastructure. “Essentially the banks need a 24 x 7 lights out computing environment, based on industry standards and using automated software building blocks. We call this the adaptive infrastructure, as it creates a supply chain for delivering IT services. It enables bank CIO’s to lower their cost of IT operations, yet at the same time deliver a higher quality service with lower risk and drives speed for enhanced business flexibility”. The team has achieved substantial success in its approach of linking technology to better business outcomes, with projects spanning from New Zealand all the way through to Japan. For instance, the HP team delivered a comprehensive suite of solutions for Bank of India that enabled the bank to drive a customer centric operation and transform its core banking system. Whilst for the Bank of Shanghai, HP is helping the bank in rolling out new delivery channels and improve operational efficiency through core banking refresh. HP calls this approach business technology optimisation and has developed a complete portfolio of solutions for financial institutions in Asia Pacific. They can address a multitude of factors facing the banks IT operations, such as how to automate the business processes, reduce risk of new upgrades and implementations, improved decision making based on governance, prioritize based on criticality of projects and regulatory compliance through to service management with the intent of reducing operational cost. Mr. Patrick Thng HP’s Regional Director of Banking and Financial Services Industry Solutions in Asia Pacific Mr. Thng goes on to say, “For CIO’s, we offer the CIO Agenda workshop, whereby we work through what are the desired business outcomes and then map that to their optimized IT infrastructure through HP’s IT transformation services. It provides a clear vision and a strong framework of where they should be investing their IT budgets. Our customers have derived a lot of value from the CIO Agenda workshops, as it brings all of our experience, technologies and learning’s to focus and drive results.” The financial services industry is a highly competitive and unforgiving environment – yet with HP’s business technologies driving better business outcomes the roadmap is clear. Mr. Sockalingam Muthiah Director of Financial Services Industry of HP Services By Mark Manners Director, Financial Services Industry Marketing Hewlett-Packard Asia Pacific The The Banker Asian Journal ISSUE 72 ISSUE The AsianBanker Banker ISSUE72 72 Asian ABJ ABJ ISS-72(EXTRA).indd ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 23 11 11 23 11 9/14/07 11:41:58 5:57:23 PM 9/17/07 AM T H E AS IA N B A N K E R (Continued from page 10) over the last two years. The average bad loan coverage ratio also improved to 78.4 percent from 74.6 percent over the same period implying that banks have sufficient provisions to protect earnings going forward. Among Asia Pacific countries, China’s banks have made giant strides in strengthening their balance sheets, halving the national average NPL ratio from 13 percent in 2004 to 7.1 percent by the end of 2006. The improvement is mainly attributable to the disposal of massive bad loans, reduced governmentdriven lending, upgraded risk management and information systems, as well as improved corporate governance. Despite Taiwan’s credit crisis, NPL ratios have fallen to their lowest levels because of more creditworthy mortgage and commercial loan consumers. Among the 33 Taiwanese banks in the AB300, 18 have reduced NPLs to below 2 percent, on par with international standards and significantly lower than the early 2000s when rates exceeded 11 percent. Operational efficiency has also helped profitability among AB300 banks with the average cost to income ratio of the AB300 rankings decreasing to 51.7 percent in 2006 from 52.6 percent from 2004 to 2006. Aggregate operating income grew 10.7 percent, once again outstripping overhead costs that grew by 10.2 percent. This could be because banks are improving the generation of fee income in branches by focusing on sales and improving internal systems. Strong loan growth and solid margins will also help fuel revenues. Capital challenge As banks in the region are poised for sustainable asset growth, one crucial factor is ensuring there is sufficient capital adequacy. But this may be less of a problem considering buoyant IPO and consolidation activities. The AB300 12 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 12 Loan growth was slowest in Japan among all AB300 banks in 2006 Japan Taiwan Thailand Hong Kong Philippines TAB 300 Average 9.9% Singapore Indonesia China Malaysia Australia Pakistan ex-Japan Average 16.2% Vietnam South Korea India 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% Source: Asian Banker Research banks’ aggregate shareholders’ equity has increased by 16.3 percent from last year, inching up average leverage ratio (shareholders’ equity to assets ratio) to 5.9 percent by 50 basis points in 2006. Some markets have done a better job than others attending to this issue. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China and China Merchants Bank—all listed in the AB300 at different times during the last two years—now enjoy sound capital adequacy ratios of above 12 percent. This is no surprise as strategic investments in banks from regional and global institutional investors amounted to $9.1 billion in 2006, which is exactly what other banks around the region need in order to bolster capital adequacy. For Taiwan it is another story. It’s one of the only banking sectors suffering from a shrinking capital base because banks have been writing-off massive loan losses. Foreign banks have begun to seek out opportunities snapping up small local banks short of cash. For example, Standard Chartered Bank took over Hsinchu International Bank in September 2006, Citigroup recently acquired Taitung Business Bank, and ABN AMRO acquired the financially troubled Bank of Overseas Chinese. New horizons Though Japan’s once debt-ridden banks impressively restored their capital strength after repaying nearly all the government funds that were pumped into the sector after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the country’s dominance in the AB300 is slipping. Japan had over 115 lenders in the last AB300 report. The country now has six fewer banks in the rankings. Moreover, Japanese banks’ ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:41:59 AM contributions to the profit pool slipped to 30.4 percent compared to 37 percent in 2005. Their aggregate asset book also fell to 42.7 percent compared to 47.6 percent in 2005. It is a different story for the Chinese. The 30 banks from China seized 23 percent of the AB300’s aggregate assets, up from 20.7 percent last year. Aggregate net profits as a percentage of the AB300 total increased to 21.1 percent from 16.1 percent. Australia, Hong Kong, India and Singapore are also climbing up the tables in terms of market contributions to assets and profits. China also features the greatest number of new additions to the AB300. The six new banks include three rural commercial banks, two joint-stock banks and one new provincial lender. Rapid expansion of China’s local credit institutions should result in more Chinese names joining the AB300 in 2008. Another critical factor that reshaped this year’s AB300 ranking is the frenzy of deals. Of the 16 newcomers to the AB300, three emerged as a result of mergers (Taiwan’s Mega International Commercial Bank, the Philippines’ Banco de Oro-EPCI and China’s Huishang Bank). The latter was a provincial lender established through the merger of six city commercial banks and seven credit cooperatives. Consolidation is likely to continue in Asia in line with global trends. The adoption of global best practices, such as corporate governance, will continue to radically alter the way Asian banks do business. Though Asia has been characterised as a region of many dramatic ups and downs, smoother sailing is on the horizon as bankers stabilise operations and work toward a stronger sustainable growth business model.

ISSUE 72 ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 17 The Asian Banker 17 9/17/07 11:42:07 AM T HoE nAS R ent sp s oIA r eNd BsAt N a tKeEm Focusing on Cash Management for Financial Institutions across Asia – with highlights on the Chinese market he model of engagement that banks have with their financial institutional (“FI”) clients is constantly being updated to respond to the clients’ rapidly changing needs. At Deutsche Bank, which services its FI clients from 17 markets around Asia and 75 markets across the globe, the new focus of building dedicated teams for cash management, is moving the bank away from its old relationship manager model that treated cash management as one product among many. John Ball, regional head of Cash Management Financial Institutions for Deutsche Bank in Asia Pacific, notes that “Over the last two years, Deutsche Bank has taken a much more focused approach to the cash management business with financial institutions which are not diluted by a whole series of products to pick and choose from. We’re especially interested in offering the best of breed cash management solutions for the financial institutions cash management arena. Over the same period, the staff count of our cash management business has increased by 35 percent in Asia, the majority of which is boosting the bank’s China team.” T John Ball regional head of Cash Management Financial Institutions for Deutsche Bank in Asia Pacific China Nancy So head of Cash Management Financial Institutions for Deutsche Bank in China 18 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG1-19).indd 18 Deutsche Bank has been leveraging its global strengths as a leading provider of Euro and US dollar payments into its regional capabilities. And with its ever-increasing China coverage, the bank is boosting its ability to meet the high expectations of discerning FI clients who have many large Chinese clients that are increasing their overseas expansion plans. Nancy So, Deutsche Bank’s head of Cash Management Financial Institutions for China, notes that “Chinese companies are going abroad, investing abroad, and many of them are very large Chinese corporates among the world’s 500 largest companies - (based on Fortune 500 listed as of 2006 in Accenture’s 2007 report).” As their Chinese corporate clients go abroad, the Chinese banks are also looking to service their offshore needs. So sees this as an opportunity for Deutsche Bank to add value to their existing relationships with their FI clients. “Deutsche Bank is able to share both global and local expertise with the Chinese banks so that they can service their corporates going overseas. We are really in the partnership approach.” Deutsche Bank’s attention is also on the steady stream of new international clients who are setting up domestically. “With so many countries establishing businesses in China,” says Ball, “we’re able to provide that window into China as well as expertise which Nancy and her team share with other colleagues and FI clients around the world - with a focus on how businesses are conducted in China. They are well-qualified to ensure that our established business is expedited successfully.” Customisation through technology So pointed out the need for Deutsche Bank to be able to customise solutions for clients through its global cash management platform. Money Transfer New Architecture (MTNA), the bank’s proprietary and highly sophisticated system allows FI clients to manage Euro and US dollar payments in a highly automated manner. It offers the clients the benefits from the Bank’s continuous investment in artificial intelligence. With MTNA, clients can, for example, time the release of treasury and commercial payments. Additionally, services can be customised on the payee level where payments can be executed based on certain conditions so that the operational workload for the FI client can be reduced significantly. ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:42:08 AM So elaborates “In terms of the payment format, we can scan the payment instructions based on related fields to offer tailored payment pricing based on clients’ geography and beneficiaries without having to increase operational burdens for our FI clients,” she says. “For intra-Asia processing, we can also customise services to do priority services, reaching beneficiary bank instantaneously by scanning the receiving bank’s country.” With MTNA, Deutsche Bank has a competitive advantage of delivering innovative product capabilities that is crucial in countries with challenging landscapes, such as China. “Given the wide geographical spread of China,” So says, “along with business practices that vary in-country, clients are always on the lookout for solutions that simplify day to day transaction processing.” MTNA’s compelling features take the complexity out of managing multiple crossborder payments. For example, a Chinese Multinational Corporation (“MNC”) that is importing from multiple suppliers all over the world would require cross-border payments. Through MTNA, FI clients can enjoy tailored fee services and the payment processing that is tied up to the client’s multiple vendors around the world. Leveraging its unique strength in processing payments in both Euros and US dollars, a rare combination among global cash management players, the bank is proud of the fact that it is the only dollar service provider at China’s massive postal bank network, which provides access to most of China’s 1.3 billion people. So also explains that China is still more a recipient of inbound payments rather than a source of outbound payments, but given the bank’s strong role in both US dollars and Euros, it is strategically positioned to become the global payments gateway to facilitate inbound payments for Chinese beneficiaries through its financial institutions clients. So believes that the cash management landscape in China will evolve with the greater adoption of the Internet, “As the popularity of the Internet becomes more widespread in China, clients would turn to banks with global platforms for faster processing, increased transaction accuracy and cost effectiveness. At Deutsche Bank, we will adapt to these market trends by offering our clients innovative solutions that enable clients to streamline their operations.” To address the changing demands of its clients and the market, Deutsche Bank has committed resources to remain at the forefront of technology “Since we have both Euros and US dollars, we have the scale to constantly invest in new payment solutions,” explains Ball. “We are in constant dialogue with clients around the world to hear their issues firsthand and to better understand how we can enhance our cash management capabilities.” Interaction One case in point about Deutsche Bank’s presence in China is largely about understanding the ever-changing business environment in this growth market. “Our colleagues in Europe or North America are constantly demanding information about doing business in China,” explains Ball, “and how to conduct transactions in the most efficient way. In the same regard, we are also updating and sharing latest ideas about transacting into China with our clients.” And with its broad Asia footprint, the same can be said about the other markets that the bank is operating in. Providing such technologically-strong product offerings means that the bank needs to interact with its clients constantly, both in terms of updating them about their services and also finding out what their specific needs really are. Ball added “We regularly conduct workshops with our FI clients to share our insights and our best practices as well as industry trends with our clients. In addition, our clients can leverage the expertise offered by the bank across the vast global network.” And by listening to the views of these FI clients, Deutsche Bank understands their strategies in serving their corporate and retail clients’ international payments. With dedicated on-shore presence in 17 Asian markets, FI clients can access and tap into the pool of on-the-ground experience and knowledge which Deutsche Bank can offer. Deutsche Bank’s strong local presence, global customer service network and the leading technology behind MTNA, provide FI clients with first-class cash management tools to service their own customer base.

Fine tuned over the past four years, the AB300 strength ranking measures a bank’s scale, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability and asset quality using eleven key indicators: asset size; year-on-year growth in loans, deposits and operating profit; risk index; capital adequacy ratio; return on assets; costto-income ratio; non-interest income as a percentage of total income; bad loan coverage ratio and non-performing loan ratio. Each indicator’s importance is weighted on a scale of 0 to 5. We invite leading global practitioners and academics to review weightings and calibrations annually to ensure accuracy and fairness. ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:46:45 AM no Indian banks broke into the top ten, nine of the country’s banks made it into the top 50, second only to Hong Kong’s eleven. This is no surprise given the Indian economy is in overdrive, with buoyant consumption and investment demand driving the banking sector’s strong balance sheet growth. Private lenders like HDFC enabled them to set the pace for the whole banking industry. Moreover, abundant capital and stable operation of core businesses in their home markets have enabled many of them to replicate success beyond their traditional borders. India was another over-achiever in this year’s strength ranking. Although tralia Bank and Commonwealth Bank Australia—and Singapore’s formidable trio of DBS, United Overseas Bank and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation dominated the top ten.

Although nearly all markets have achieved a better scorecard performance compared to last year, in line with our previous assessment (page 9) that a ‘reinforced and reshaped’ banking industry in the region is emerging through sustainable asset book expansion and better capital adequacy, there were some exceptions. Australia, Taiwan and Vietnam all witnessed a marginal drop in strength scores in this year’s report. Despite the consistently robust performance of Australia’s ‘four pillars’, the country’s banking sector polarized further, leaving smaller local lenders such as Adelaide Bank and Bendigo Bank more vulnerable to surprises because of worsening operational efficiencies and net interest margins. Vietnam’s three state-owned banks’ failure to replenish their capital base to sustain the credit growth experienced in previous years proved to be a major drag on revenue and net profit growth. Taiwan’s banking sector was still struggling with the aftermath of the c re d i t a n d c a s h card crisis. Banks with the highest unsecured lending exposure suffered most in their strength scores. Nevertheless, a positive by-product of the post-credit crisis is the banking industry’s gradual move toward consolidation. Banks who survived the credit crunch with intact business operations are now prepared to engage in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which has boosted strength 2007 Source: Asian Banker Research scores. In fact, two of this year’s most improved strength scores were from Taiwan—Bank SinoPac, who acquired International Bank of Taipei, and Taiwan Cooperative Bank, who took over Farmers Bank of Taiwan. Malaysia’s Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings also improved its strength score more than the competition. It achieved significant inorganic growth through last year’s acquisition of Southern Bank. Management was active in rebranding branches, integrating Southern Bank’s operations and restructuring its corporate structure, which led to higher than expected bottom line growth, helping the bank’s strength ranking jump 130 places to number 22 in the region, albeit lower than its two giant domestic peers Public Bank and Maybank, who tied for eleventh. Indian lenders such as Bank of Maharashtra and Federal Bank, and “There will be difficulties for some banks going forward but most business models have improved” 56 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG44-57).indd 56 2006 Japanese lenders such as Hachijuni Bank and Hiroshima Bank, made notable improvements in terms of strength. They performed better in nearly all aspects of the scorecard without relying on merger and acquisitions activities to boost growth. Overall, Asia’s banks are maturing. There will be difficulties for some banks going forward, but most business models have improved. In the past, single business lines such as lending and deposit taking were the mainstay of many banks’ portfolios, but over-reliance damaged profitability when tough market conditions struck. Now diversification is helping banks reduce dependence on these traditional business lines. For example, banks in China recognise the need to diversify service in order to attract and retain different customer segments. Nevertheless Asia’s banks are still playing catch-up with their westernbased rivals, who have developed services over time. Still, regional expansion and the growth of Asia is also an underlying factor helping banks stand tall. The future for bank franchises looks bright.

Hong Kong’s 15 banks have $827.6 billion in assets, South Korea’s 14 oversee nearly $1.1 trillion and Malaysia’s 16 banks manage a mere $303.9 billion. Bank performance has been characteristically strong in Australia’s October 2005 to September 2006 reporting year, despite signs of a growing real estate bubble and regulator concerns that consumers may be spending beyond their means. Australia’s top five banks in terms of assets all showed double-digit asset growth compared to last year’s results, with only Commonwealth Bank of Australia falling just shy at 9.4 percent. Profitability from lending operations also surged as the year-on-year change in banks’ net interest income soared, although the country’s largest ‘four pil- Revenue mix (%) A Non-interest Income/Total Operating Income Source: Asian Banker Research ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:48:45 AM ers was St. George Bank. Besides an impressive 122.4 percent growth in net interest income, the bank posted 119.4 percent net profit growth and 25.5 percent asset growth despite taking a 25.1 percent hit on its deposit base. Australian business models are proving more robust than many of the region’s banks with lenders showing very high levels of non-interest income to total operating income ratios. While the big four saw levels ranging from 31.6 to 44.1 percent, Macquarie went as high as 85.7 percent. Australian banks compare favourably with other large markets like South Korea, where the percentage of income from non-lending activities can go as low as 5.2 percent and will not exceed 21.9 percent. But the healthy balance of lending and fee-based incomes of Australian banks was tempered by relatively high cost to income ratios with nearly two thirds of the banks in the AB300 topping 50 percent and six of them surging beyond 60 percent. Among the banks’ traditional strength indicators, NPLs have fallen to a historic low, ranging between 0.1 percent for most banks to the occasional 0.3 or 0.4 percent, while capital adequacy ratios are generally well beyond 10 percent. As a result of their strong fundamentals, many of the banks have been able to report double-digit annual growth. Australian banks have shown strong returns on assets as well, with the larger banks all north of one percent, while the smaller banks often register half that percentage. Clearly the regional lenders will need to consolidate if they hope to threaten the country’s largest banks, but so far there are not many indications that this trend will emerge. Australia’s four largest banks would like to overturn the country’s ‘four pillars’ policy which forbids them from merging with each other. If such a historic merger does indeed happen, Australia may become the launch pad for a much larger scale international bank than ANZ, who has acquired banks in seven markets around Asia. Perhaps it is no coincidence that ANZ has hired Mike Smith, industry-respected former head of HSBC’s Asia Pacific operations and global SME business, as its new CEO. China 30 banks in the AB300.

Total assets among these 30 institutions stood at $4.1 trillion for the fiscal year ending December 2006. Net profits hit $25 billion, and the top ten banks controlled 90.4 percent of assets and 93.4 percent of net profits. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) was once again the number one ranked Chinese bank and saw assets climb 16.3 percent to $961 billion while net profits rose 30.3 percent to $6.3 billion, the second highest among Asian banks. ICBC also climbed one slot in the overall AB300 ranking to number three the same year it had its record breaking $21.9 billion Hong Kong and Shanghai IPOs. Higher loan quality and fee revenue bolstered government recapitalized state-owned banks. Bank of China, whose pair of IPOs in 2006 drew $13.7 billion, saw net profits rise 44.7 percent to over $6 billion while its NPL ratio fell to 4.2 percent from 4.6 percent.

Raising the stakes Foreign institutions who entered China as local investors or product partners, but have since been given the green light to set up or expand solo operations following the country’s full market opening in December 2006, are pushing domestic players to up the ante. Ten overseas banks have been approved for local incorporation and given yuan denominated service rights. State-owned giant Agriculture Bank of China (ABC) is being primed for reform and could be listed as early as next year. Among the signs is a proposed $40 billion cash injection. As one of China’s four large state-owned banks, its importance is unquestionable, especially given its access to rural areas. But its underperformance is glaring and in sore need of attention, in particular its -17.6 percent capital adequacy ratio, 23.4 percent NPL level and 93.7 percent cost to income ratio. Its asset growth of only 12 percent, when compared to that of all of China’s other lenders, shows that this under-achiever has yet to capitalise on market opportunities. Reform is also planned for China Everbright Bank—it has a 7.6 percent NPL ratio and is scheduled for a reported $2.6 billion bailout—while a consortium of investors led by Citigroup is giving similar attention to Guangdong Development Bank. China Development Bank is among the policy banks earmarked to become a full-fledged commercial institution and has been promised $20 billion in restructuring capital. While still in the early stages, reform plans all point to a more cut-throat banking landscape, which authorities envisage will lead to some bloodletting but should ultimately build stronger, more effective institutions. But Chinese banks still face trouble differentiating products and services. Foreign players have shown how strong customer service and tailored products can bolster a brand. China’s banks are still playing catch up. “China added six more banks to this year’s AB300 ranking for 30 in total, compared to 24 in 2006 and 20 in 2005” ISSUE 72 9/17/07 11:48:49 AM Hong Kong 15 banks in the AB300.

While the top three banks in terms of assets saw net profit expand 10.4 percent, the twelve smaller banks on the list enjoyed an average growth rate almost triple that at 28 percent, partially due to the rising interest spread. However, given 2007’s slower economy and fewer large IPOs, smaller players will suffer from higher funding costs, which is likely to lead to squeezed profit margins. Rising costs remain an issue for all banks, but new provisions remain low and are proving to be a key profit driver.

For example, Hang Seng Bank’s loans for use outside Hong Kong (for businesses that invest outside of Hong Kong’s borders) surged by 39.8 percent to HK$22.2 billion ($2.85 billion) in 2006, largely due to the 50.9 percent rise in lending by its mainland branches. Hong Kong banks’ loans to companies and individuals investing in China have more than doubled between 2002 and 2006 to almost 10 percent of banks’ total loan books, according to an estimate by Fitch Ratings. This trend will likely persist as Hong Kong banks continually gain more access to mainland customers following the opening of China’s banking industry in December 2006. And as more Chinese companies list in Hong Kong, banks have also begun to aggressively lend to well-credited ‘red-chip’ companies, contributing to a 42 percent growth “Banks still need to be on their toes” in loans for use outside the country. Conversely, loan growth for use within the country is increasing at a much more conservative 2.7 percent, according to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Although the improving credit environment and banks’ prudent credit policies have brought down NPL ratios continuously over the past few years, banks still need to be on their toes, paying extra attention to mainland loan books which grow fast but pose risks that are difficult to understand.

Central Bank of India’s net profit skyrocketed 93.5 percent to $114m, representing the fastest growth among the top ten banks. Most of the major banks saw both improved capital adequacy ratios and decreasing NPLs. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will continue to fine-tune regulatory and supervisory initiatives to ensure asset quality by tightening provisioning requirements. The banking sector will also have to migrate to Basel II in a phased approach starting in March 2008. The regulator wants banks to raise best practices in line with foreign banks. Basel II will pose some challenges but could be an opportunity for banks to improve risk management systems and capital adequacy. Meanwhile, banks should continue to benefit from a strong profit story and growing asset base because of everhigher GDP growth rates.

But concerns about volatile financial markets contributing to a rise in delinquencies will result in the RBI monitoring the retail sector more closely. Most customers in India are firsttime borrowers with no credit history. This lack of data on borrowers in the mortgage and personal loan market, coupled with poor service quality in banks, remain significant issues for the industry. A key challenge for Indian banks in coming years will be maintaining retail credit quality. Improving credit history data on existing and potential customers is key. Finally, the perennial problem of finding the right talent for crucial positions in both state-owned and private banks will continue to plague the sector and could prove to be a drag on some business segments.

Bank Indonesia, the central bank, has also issued a ‘single presence policy’, mandating investors who own shares in more than one bank to divest their holdings, merge their assets or set up a holding unit. The goal is to encourage speedier consolidation, which will ultimately make the sector more competitive and efficient, as economies of scale will reduce banks’ cost to income ratios. The increase in deposit levels will then lower cost of funds.

However, Japan’s preeminence is slowly being eroded by other banks in the region with dynamic, red-hot economies. In 2005 there were 121 Japanese banks in the AB300. The figure shrunk to 115 in last year’s report. While the banks turned their 2005 losses around to show profit in 2006, the financial year ending March 2007 saw profit decrease by 14.1 percent to $35.9 billion. ROA for 2007 also dipped to 0.47 percent from the previous year’s 0.5 percent. Japanese banks’ declining performance can be attributed to lower interest in loans from corporations and thinning margins. The largest banks also suffered huge profit losses related to the government’s September 2006 mandate that consumer finance companies reduce interest rates from 29 to 78 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG70-92).indd 78 While only six banks declared losses, nearly half of them reported lower profits in the year ending March 2007 than in the previous year.

The hit to consumer finance companies’ business forced banks that had previously taken large holdings in these companies, or run consumer finance businesses of their own, to support them with capital injections.

Although the two largest banks in the AB300 are still Japanese, they are soon to be unseated. Of the four Japanese banks in the top ten, only one—Mizuho—is seeing asset growth, albeit a measly 0.9 percent. By contrast, the four Chinese banks in the top ten are seeing growth rates ranging from 12 to 18.8 percent. China should take the AB300’s top spots from Japan by 2011. Dismal asset growth is not just limited to Japanese mega-banks— over a quarter of Japan’s banks in the AB300 have seen asset shrinkage, and 14.7 percent show less than one percent growth. Only four banks, all among the county’s larger lenders, showed double digit growth, led by the otherwise troubled Shinsei Bank. A similar trend is evident in deposit taking. Of greater concern is the fate of regional players like Ashikaga Bank, the last ‘failed’ bank nationalised in late 2003. Despite managing to bring NPLs down somewhat, the bank has been showing smaller and smaller profits. Besides Ashikaga Bank, many others are fighting to recover from the decade that left them behind—while most of the country’s biggest banks have paid off their loans to the government, a lot of the regional players have yet to solidify business improvement plans. Rehabilitating these banks, a cluster of small lenders that still control 40 percent of the country’s assets, will be a key part of the country’s greater macroeconomic resuscitation. Japan’s regional economic enclaves, still hard-hit by demographic shifts and natural disasters, are now also sensitive to political power changes, as evidenced by the 2007 Upper House election where dis- sent from rural areas caused the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to lose its majority in the house for the first time ever. Though the country’s long serving Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro reformed the most over-arching elements of the country’s financial services infrastructure, including the mega-banks and the Postal Bank, his successors will face an even greater challenge. Shinzo Abe, who resigned in September 2007 after criticism over his failure to push financial reforms, was not up to the task. The next prime minister will need to focus on solidifying his power base and reinvigorating the stagnant economy, so regional bank problems are likely to remain on the backburner. Thankfully the private sector may be able to lend a helping hand. Foreign private equity players did, after all, turn around three of Japan’s failed banks early in the decade, and there is no reason why they couldn’t do so again. Investors are reportedly casting their eyes on regional lenders such as Ashikaga Bank. Moreover, the stronger regional banks are beginning to think about consolidation. Fukuoka Financial Group, who already bought Kyushu’s Fukuoka Bank and Kumamoto Family Bank and just finalised the acquisition of Shinwa Bank this year, will overtake Bank of Yokohama as the country’s largest regional lender, a move that could encourage stronger regional banks to do the same. “Regional bank problems are likely to remain on the backburner” ISSUE 72 ABJ ISS-72(PG70-92).indd 79 The Asian Banker 79 9/17/07 12:11:16 PM T H E AS IA N B A N K E R Country Capsules Malaysia 16 banks in the AB300.

Bumiputra Commerce Holdings enjoyed the highest asset growth at 40.6 percent due to the merger of Southern Bank and Bumiputra Commerce Bank (BCB) under the CIMB name, while Public Bank posted the second highest growth in assets at 32.3 percent, a strong performance indicator on top of its 33 percent increase in its deposit base and 23.9 percent growth in lending. Asset quality among Malaysian banks on the AB300 list improved in 2006—all showed decreased NPL ratios with the exception of AMMB, Standard Chartered Bank, Affin Bank and BIMB. As expected Maybank, Malaysia’s largest lender, enjoyed the highest net profit among the country’s 16 banks in the AB300, posting a figure of $780m up 12.6 percent from last year. Notably, AMMB increased net profits by 66.4 percent to $130m. Consolidation and restructuring remain key issues in the sector. In addition to activity at CIMB and AMMB, stateowned retirement fund Employees Provident Fund acquired a controlling stake in RHB, and ANZ’s investment in AMMB. Further merger and acquisition buzz seems imminent with state-owned investment fund Permodalan Nasional Berhad buying into investment bank MIDF, and private equity players Newbridge Capital and Primus Pacific Partners keen to acquire stakes in EON bank. Competition among banks has intensifi ed as consumers have become increasingly product and price savvy. As a result, margins are being squeezed and interest rate wars prevail especially in mortgage and automobile lending. Banks are responding by shifting focus from interest to fee-based income. AMMB and HSBC are leading the pack with a non-interest income to total operating income ratio of 51.7 and 48.6 percent respectively. The growth of Islamic banking in Malaysia remains a key aspect of the banking landscape. Shariah loans grew by 12 percent year-on-year as of December 2006 to $22.2 billion with deposit levels up 25 percent, spiking at $23.25 billion.

This suggests that banks have the resources to accelerate consolidation in a market that is in need of reform. The merger of Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank, a mega-deal hammered out in 2006, should also provoke more interest in consolidation in the coming years. Meanwhile, most Philippine banks continue to gain substantially on their large holdings of long-term, fixed-rate government papers. Overseas remittances and trust sales also contribute to strong fee incomes. The booming economy has stimulated consumer demand and SME credit needs, which had been stagnant for many years. In the mortgage market, an increasing number of overseas Philippine workers came back to buy residential property, which drove loan demand. The country’s burgeoning call centre industry has also created a huge need for commercial offices, boosting opportunities for banks to finance new building development. Together with relatively wide margins, these factors have made 2006 a fruitful year for Philippine banks. However, as competition heats up and the interest rate environment grows increasingly unfavourable, smaller Philippine banks will feel the pain of narrowing margins and higher operational costs, increasing incentives for mergers and acquisitions. There were six mergers in 2006 alone, and the trend has continued in 2007. One of the most anticipated deals is Philippine National Bank’s likely merger with Allied Banking to form the country’s fourth largest bank by assets. Singapore 3 banks in the AB300.

The number three bank according to assets grew 15.2 percent growth to $98.6 billion, putting it in striking range of UOB, who grew assets 11.2 percent to $105.2 billion. But DBS’s 9.5 percent asset growth, fuelled largely by regional corporate loans, and to a smaller extent consumer loans, is still comfortably in the lead as the largest bank in Singapore and Southeast Asia with its $128.7 billion. There was a similar inversely proportionate relationship for deposit growth, operating expense change and non-interest income to total operating income ratio. For the latter, OCBC saw 45.6 percent of its income come from outside its lending business, while UOB registered 38.6 percent, and DBS 32.5 percent.

OCBC recorded a 51.6 percent rise in profits to $1.7 billion, but registered only an 11 percent rise in profit after taking into account $364m in divestment gains. Most significantly in 2006 was the banks’ lack of investment in overseas markets. Facing competition from aggressive foreign banks, each Singapore bank pursued its own overseas strategy. “The banks earned fees from a wide range of businesses, many of which showed strong growth” DBS, while the most solid regional player, has so far faltered in attempts to pick up equity stakes in other markets, in particular China and Korea, and has had difficulty gaining traction in Thailand and India despite a small presence in both markets. OCBC, on the other hand, made investments in China’s Ningbo City Commercial Bank as well as VP Bank in Vietnam, hoping to take advantage of Singapore-based SMEs doing business in both countries. The deal helps VP Bank learn modern banking expertise and also bolsters risk management. For its part, OCBC gets a foot in the door of an emerging market and its young population. Foreign investment is expected to continue as the Singapore bank actively focuses on growth opportunities in ASEAN countries outside Singapore and Malaysia. Meanwhile, UOB was quiet in terms of new acquisitions but is boosting its investments in Malaysia and Indonesia.

With Shinhan Financial Group’s buyout of LG Card, which helped drive its 131.7 percent asset growth and even higher 152.9 percent loan growth in 2006, the only major fates yet to be decided are those of Woori Bank and Korea Exchange Bank. But both of these highly politicised potential deals may have to wait until a new government is elected in December 2007. As aggressive lending squeezes margins, some banks’ profitability is rooted in tax rebates and the disposal of investments in creditor companies during the distressed asset era. Despite pressure to curb lending to real estate due to government fears of a property bubble, banks have been pushing loans out into the SME sector. Woori Bank grew assets by 30.3 percent in 2006, while Industrial Bank of Korea and Hana Bank grew their respective numbers by 21.1 and 19 percent each. Meanwhile, the sober heads at Kookmin Bank, Korea Exchange Bank and Citibank, allergic to price competition, kept asset growth well below 10 percent. Of the nation’s banks, only Standard Chartered First Bank Korea (StanChart) saw asset shrink- age. Lending margins are flattening for all of the banks, and net interest income change was generally half of asset growth or less. With NPL ratios mainly under one percent and provisions at historic lows, writing them back will (Continued on page 86) Accelerating loan growth failed to fuel net interest income in Korea 25% 20% YoY Growth K 15% 10% 5% 0% 2003 YoY Loan Growth 2004 2005 YoY Net Interest Income Growth Source: Asian Banker Research ISSUE 72 ABJ ISS-72(PG70-92).indd 85 2006 The Asian Banker 85 9/17/07 11:49:09 AM T H E AS IA N B A N K E R Country Capsules (Continued from page 85) no longer provide sufficient annual profitability. Reporting one-off gains is so engrained in Korean culture that credit card firms have shown an 80 percent surge in 2007’s first half earnings based on a corporate tax cut and the recovery of loan-loss reserves. Kookmin Bank and Korea Exchange Bank are fighting to recover government-imposed penalty payments for the merger of their respective bank and credit card units, which would be a similar sort of one-off income to impress shareholders. While Korean banks are trying to increase their fee income, their ratio of non-interest income to total operating income is still low, with the majority of banks ranging from 5.2 percent up to the low double digits⎯Korea Exchange Bank and Shinhan Bank are exceptions at 21.9 and 18.6 percent respectively. Although banks have been fighting a flattening in their net interest margins throughout the year, increased competition may soon cut into this too. Price cutting on credit card fees has already begun, but banks may soon begin to look closer at wealth management propositions to diversify business. Costs are reasonably contained at Korean banks, with cost to income ratios ranging between 38.1 and 62.7 percent and most banks hovering around 50 percent. Foreign banks fared worse, with StanChart and Citibank reporting 64.4 and 70.2 percent respectively. But at least Korean banks are showing improved return on assets (ROA), with over half of the banks in the AB300 posting one percent or more, unlike Japan where only four of the 109 ranked banks broke into single digits. But with very high capital adequacy ratios among Korea’s 14 ranked banks ranging from 10.9 to 14.2 percent, growth by acquisition is the other very real prospect. Kookmin Bank, besides pining for Korea Exchange Bank, is trying to grow by buying a brokerage and expanding its asset management business. Other banks like Woori are seeking similar opportunities to boost investment banking and credit card operations. Taiwan 33 banks in the AB300. Total assets:$804.2bn. Total net profit:$-0.6bn.

Interestingly, these banks’ poor marketing skills and management systems seemed to be responsible for sheltering them from the credit fallout, as their conservative nature was typically what kept them from entering the unsecured personal lending business in the first place. But a thick hide is not a competitive advantage, and they will need to think more about their products and services as their more commerciallyminded private competitors recover and move forward. Smaller players have still been troubled by slow recovery in the consumer-lending segment, which dominates their less diversified portfolios. Ninety-day delinquency ratios stood at 7.5 percent for unsecured personal loans and 2.3 percent for credit card receivables in July 2007. Moreover, the rapidly shrinking unsecured personal lending business continues to compress interest margins. While banks generally have to delve into other profit-generating sectors such as wealth management and offshore banking to sustain their profits, smaller lenders lacking expertise and resources will find such a shift more difficult. Despite the industry’s generally abundant liquidity, smaller players and weakly capitalised private banks have suffered from insufficient access to funds. Such an uneven spread among banks is mainly attributable to a lack of consumer confidence compounded by higher funding costs, as exempli- -60% 0 2004 2005 2006 Cash cards in use Credit cards in use YoY growth of cash card lending YoY growth of credit card revolving balance Source: Asian Banker Research fied by the run on Chinese Bank in January 2007. Meanwhile, foreign banks such as Standard Chartered, ABN AMRO and Citigroup have shaken up the banking landscape by acquiring small, The foreign entrants will push Taiwan’s bigger banks to respond swiftly. But state-owned banks battling the island’s fractious politics may not be able to get into gear for some time. Private banks, who have to answer to shareholders, are under even more pressure to react in a timely manner. But unfortunately the battle for control of the board has thwarted attempts by many family banks to begin the merger and acquisition spree. Increasing foreign investment in Taiwan’s already over-banked market has also made expansion into China to cash in on the growth story a necessity. But Taiwan’s government imposes strict controls on domestic banks citing regulatory barriers as a problem. Venturing to China isn’t without its risks for Taiwanese banks despite the success stories of many other of the island’s businesses. There is no guarantee that profits could be made. “But unfortunately the battle for control of the board has thwarted attempts by many family banks to begin the merger and acquisition spree” ailing banks to build up a regional operation spanning Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. As more foreign banks enter the fray and private equity firms grow increasingly interested in Taiwan, other smaller banks are likely to be acquired by non-Taiwanese players.

Leading the way with asset growth of 26.7 percent was the consistent over-achiever Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), also the bank with the largest holding from the royal family’s investment fund. Standard Chartered Bank Thailand (Stanchart) and Kasikornbank also saw substantial double-digit asset growth of 21.2 and 11.9 percent respectively. But asset growth for the country overall was only 6.6 percent—strong growth of the country’s six largest banks was mitigated by the poor performance of weak players, among them Bankthai and Siam City Bank, who saw assets shrink by 19.4 and 8.8 percent respectively.

The upcoming election later this year could have a major impact on the local economy. According to data from SCB, private investment also fell from July 2006 to March 2007, although it has been rising recently. But optimism is strong in the banking sector w it h players engaging in new businesses after focusing on their comfort zones for too long. For example, Bangkok Bank f inally entered the auto loan sector, the last large Thai bank to do so, and SCB has been focusing on servicing SME clients, a segment it had previously lumped together with large corporates. With challenges to their core profitability going forward, banks will be forced to wring whatever “Consumer credit NPLs have risen as a result of slowing economic conditions” profits they can out of new and niche markets, non-interest income and further cost cutting. Market opportunities include SME lending, automobile lending and the higher purchase sector, but many banks, remembering the fallout from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis that brought Thailand to its knees, are taking a careful approach. Wealth management is also in a nascent stage in Thailand. The kingdom is learning how to tap into wealth from foreign entrants and other markets, but they will need to figure out how to keep a lid on costs while moving into a serviceled sector that requires constant product innovation. Again as a result of 1997, central bankers have typically been wary of developing sophisticated and exotic product offerings for both wealthy and general consumers. The winning banks will be those who take the lead in risk management and corporate governance.

The fate of TMB, who has DBS Bank as a minority shareholder, is less certain. Nevertheless, the general health of the Thai banks is reasonably good with operating cost to income ratios close to 50 percent for the most part, although United Overseas Bank’s drifted up to 67.6 percent, TMB hit 95.9 percent and Bankthai broke the bank with 131.5 percent. The banks also had strong non-interest income to total operating income ratios, ranging from 16.8 percent at Krung Thai Bank to 33.9 percent at both Bangkok Bank and SCB. But the relatively positive numbers that banks showed at the end of their financial year in December 2006 do somewhat betray the troubles that Thai banks have faced in 2007. Uncertainty over the new government has caused a drop in consumer conf idence, and consumer credit NPLs have risen as a result of slowing economic conditions.

Alan was supposed to be speaking via teleconference—it’s hard to get him to stop speaking—but none of us knew because the sealed, windowless room that he was speaking from was across both the Pacific and the Atlantic and someone over there had forgotten to turn the microphone on. At least that’s the story they told us. I have this funny feeling that in the past they’d let Alan speak whenever they thought that the economy needed a little deflating. A guy like that who had been earning a public servant’s salary for all these years would now probably want to take up some speaking engagements, and his regulator friends could simply harness his mojo for their purposes; they could say to themselves “oh, it’s April 20th and the economy is looking a bit overbaked, let’s let Alan loose and see what happens. We need a correction more than a crash right now anyway.” That way they can get a runaway economy back under control without seeming like bad guys who love to raise interest rates. These are exciting times: stock exchanges changing ownership, mega banks on buying sprees, hedge funds, private equity, and enough acronym-powered complex trading instruments to make your head spin right round and come back again. So even if we could have heard what Alan had to say on that day in April, which is well known to be the cruelest month, I’m sure he couldn’t have deflated the world economy even more than it’s already deflating itself. Five months ago I hadn’t even heard about these Carbon Deposit Obligations, not to mention Asset Backed Sanitation Paper which I hear is the next thing we will be exposed to. ah phre niah 90 The Asian Banker ABJ ISS-72(PG70-92).indd 90 The scariest of them all must be those Special Transatlantic Derivatives that are particularly infectious—you really have to be careful who you trade with these days. A few days ago I was on Bankbook, the invitation-only social networking website for bankers that has replaced martini bars in Manhattan as the hot place to swap insider information, and one guy was talking about sophisticated acronyms as if they were directly responsible for the billion dollars he had lost last month. “Guys,” I wrote, “everybody seems to think that these are the new scapegoats. What about all of the countries where people are saving more than they spend? What about Irrational Exuberance? What about real estate bubbles? What about earthquakes off the coast of Mandripore? What about two third probabilities that the price of wheat will continue to rise? What about the hole in the ozone layer!?!? Are we really going to blame everything on things that the wizards of the back office dreamed up, things that nobody understands? All of this has given the market the impression that there’s not enough funding out there, but anyone who thinks that there’s a lack of liquidity out there should go jump in the lake. We need a real scapegoat, and we need one now!” For once cyberspace was silent. I could imagine some of the guys out there had started to type “I think we need to study the problem and get back to you,” before deleting their words—no need to repeat the mantra unnecessarily. Ironically, these are times when I wish that we could get a word of reassurance from Alan, the finance world’s über-wizard, to put this all into perspective and ease some pressure on the real bubble. But I think he’s still afraid of being misunderstood about being misunderstood. Either that or he doesn’t know what’s going on either. Ah Phre Niah’s alter ego has a day job at The Asian Banker.
