The document analyzes the performance of the top 100 global banks between 2009 and 2010. It found that while profitability and capital adequacy improved, asset quality remained a concern due to slow deleveraging and rising non-performing assets. Specifically, the percentage of loss-making banks declined from 25% to 5% and positive returns increased, but 24% of banks remained highly leveraged in 2009 and overall asset quality weakened except at the highest non-performing loan levels.

ASSIGNMENT I SUMMARY ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF TOP 100 GLOBAL BANKS

Source: Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2010-11 Ch. II: Global Banking Trends

Submitted by: SIRISHA B V S Roll No: 10306

An Analysis of the Performance of Top 100 Global Banks was summarized as below:

The rank correlation coefficient of the top-20 global banks between 2009 and 2010 was 0.83. The correlation coefficient increased steadily, as the sample of banks was expanded to top-50 and then to top-100 banks. The rise in the rank correlation coefficients with the increase in the sample size suggested that there was considerable repositioning of banks at the top end of the asset spectrum.

An analysis of the location of incorporation of top 100 global banks suggested a moderate shift of the global banking business from advanced economies to emerging economies after the crisis. This shift was due to bank failures as well as a weak growth in asset base of banks from the advanced economies.

There was a distinct improvement in the profitability of global banks between 2009 and 2010 as evident from an increase in RoA. The percentage of loss making global banks was down from 25 per cent in 2009 to only 5 per cent in 2010. Further, about 89 per cent of the global banks had a positive RoA of less than 2 per cent in 2010 as against a share of 70 per cent in 2009.

Apart from a turnaround in profitability of global banks, there was also strengthening of capital adequacy positions of these institutions between 2009 and 2010. There was an increasing concentration of banks between 2009 and 2010 in higher size classes based on CRAR.

Notwithstanding the improvement in CRAR, soundness of global banks remained a concern on account of a slow process of deleveraging and increasing levels of NPAs. At the end of 2009, about 24 per cent of the top-100 global banks were highly leveraged with a Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) a measure of financial leverage of less than four per cent.

Between 2009 and 2010, there was a decline in the proportion of banks reporting very high levels of NPLs ratio, suggesting some temperance of the acute credit strain on banks. However, except this change at the extreme end of the spectrum, there was a general weakening of the asset quality of top global banks.
