DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9f302d/jordan_commercial) has
announced the addition of the "Jordan Commercial Banking Report Q4 2009" report
to their offering.
This Jordan Commercial Banking Report provides industry professionals and
strategists, corporate analysts, banking associations, government departments
and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on
Jordan's commercial banking industry.
The publisher now rates 59 banking systems, and it is little surprise that the
developed states dominate the top spots. The US and UK come first and second
place, respectively, with scores of 88.7 and 88.0 out of 100. Of crucial
importance to both scores is the very high rankings in the crucial 'Risks to
realisation of returns - Market structure' sub-category, which accounts for 42%
of the overall score. The two countries are ranked first and second in this
category as well. This sub-category captures the size of the sector, and the
potential for assets and loans to grow in US dollar terms. While both systems
have been buffeted by the global credit crunch and will not post stellar growth
numbers in percentage terms for the foreseeable future, the sheer size of the US
and UK's financial systems means that there is massive potential for deposits,
assets and client loans to rise. In addition, the generally solid institutional
framework - which looks set to be augmented with new post-credit crunch
regulations - will continue to provide a firm basis for the sector.
A Mixed Bag For The Developed States
Following just behind the US and UK are a clutch of major developed state
economies, including France (82.9, 3rd) and Germany (80.5, 4th globally), Canada
(79.9, fifth), as well as Australia and Italy (78.4, joint sixth). All of these
sectors have reasonable prospects into the medium term, having a large deposit
and loan base, and the potential to grow substantially in volume (even if not
percentage) terms. However, several states are notable by their absence in this
cluster. Austria falls somewhat short (72.4, 12th) of the pack, along with
Greece (69.4, 16th), but it is the poor performance of Switzerland (62.7, 26th)
and Japan (56.3, 34th) which really stands out. Both states are going to
struggle to post increases in asset or loan growth in US dollar terms over the
forecast period, to 2013, partially as a result of currency moves to the
downside, but also in the case of Switzerland because of the relative weakness
of the two key banking groups, UBS and Credit Suisse which had built up large
franchises during the good years.
