China's leadership is aware of the weaknesses in its armed forces, who have been found to be physically unfit, untested, unmotivated  and corrupt. Two recent examples show just how weak the armed forces are at dealing with natural disasters, let alone a situation where national security was at stake.

As I noted in my post from a fortnight ago, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/blockchain-in-the-financial-services-industry" target="_blank">Blockchain in the Financial Services Industry</a>, central banks are taking greater interest in blockchain and exploring potential applications.A good example is the recent decision by Canada's central bank, The Bank of Canada, to develop an electronic 'version' of the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"). The initiative involves issuing, transferring and settling central bank assets via a token named 'CAD-Coin'. The idea would involve participants pledging cash (CAD)…

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.

While credit quality is certainly the most important issue facing China’s banks, we can not dismiss core income. This is what will pay for credit costs. But China’s banks are quietly facing a vanishing of their asset yields and therefore, net interest margins (NIM). Where interest rates are not coming down in the quarter, we suspect that much of the worsening in asset yields and NIM is due to loans not paying market rates.These may more affectionately be called NPLs, restructured loans or…

Yesterday was money and credit data release data in China.  Most of the numbers grew robustly, as is always expected with this specific release, but there were two numbers that we wanted to highlight because of what they mean for other issues.First, new RMB loans in China were up 9% YoY and 16% YTD YoY.  This represents the ongoing rapid expansion of credit in China that at best seems unsustainable at worst reckless.  Despite talk of restricting credit expansion, credit is growing more than…
