A series of setbacks to China's stock markets has dented confidence and discouraged investors in the first half of 2016. These include the delay in the Shenzen-HK Stock Connect program, delays in market reforms and the MSCI decision, for the third year in a row, not to include China A shares in its global indices.

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.

For all the concern focused on the Chinese economy, financial markets, and credit, the RMB dominates them all.  If a hard landing or crisis like scenario were to take place, it would undoubtedly involve significant devaluation.Aware of this dynamic the PBOC has been working to control both the price and the flow of the CNY, CNH, and the accompanying assorted derivatives resulting in clear market distortions, some of which we have covered here.  The impact of official intervention, though we…
