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. 

Asian bank research, without the noise.

Italian Election Likely to Severely Impact Financial Sector

* Stronger USD on the back of higher interest rates, and higher USD-denominated oil prices are the perfect storm for the Turkish economy and TRL. * Even in a best case scenario of a soft landing and a Chinese rescue package, significant EPS downgrades are likely with 2018 GDP warnings, the pro-cyclicality of IFRS9 which will increase loan provisioning by 100 bps, and imminent loan growth deceleration on the back of higher local rates. * Economic data is weak: Current account deficit of 6.5%…
