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.

India's USD 44.5 Trillion 'Agriculture Income' Puzzle: What It Means For The Economy

After the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) started its review of loan quality, banks are showing significant bad loans.YES Bank may be more private, more savvy and least government-like than others (and ICICI). But the data coming out is not soothing. Its write-offs rose by 87x in the quarter. Its write-offs in…
