About The Asian Banker 500+

The AB500+ is an expanded version of  The Asian Banker's long-running and highly respected AB300 database of banks. The list orders banks not only in terms of asset size, but also applies them to a strength formula that takes into account their scale, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability, asset quality, and liquidity.

A must-have database for all banks, as well as companies that serve the banking sector, the research covers over 18 countries across the Asia Pacific region. To recognise the growing importance of trade and commerce between the Middle East and Asia, coverage also includes a separate survey of banks in eight key markets in the Middle East.

In addition to a comprehensive analysis of standard balance sheet and income statement data, critical information presented in the database includes breakdowns of loans by maturity and by category, and key non-financial information such as number of branches and number of employees, as well exclusive in-depth country-level analysis of 13 key markets.
