Research and Markets: The Latest Chile Commercial Banking Report is Available Today

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9a040f/chile_commercial_b) has announced the addition of the "Chile Commercial Banking Report Q2 2009" report to their offering.

The Chile Commercial Banking Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Chile's commercial banking sector.

In Q209 the publisher made a number of changes which they hope will substantially improve the impact and value of our reports on the commercial banking sectors of various countries.

Since they introduced the commercial banking reports in mid-2004, they have sought to generate insights by combining and combining information from a number of sources. The publisher has collated data pertinent to entire commercial banking sectors that has been published by central banks, regulators and/or trade associations. They have collated basic information concerning individual market participants. They have also considered our current views on the economic outlook for the country in question. Many aspects have been - and continue to be - brought together in a systematic way through our proprietary Commercial Bank Business Environment Ratings (CBBER), which facilitate cross-country comparisons. The key changes in Q209 - and what they mean for readers are as follows:

Comprehensively Upgraded Database

The publisher has now incorporated as much data as they can for 2008. They have also considered the size of total bank assets, client loans, capital and client deposits in relation to the overall economy, as well as absolute terms. They have calculated figures in local currency terms, US dollar terms and euro terms. They have extended our forecast horizon out to 2013. They have also improved the coverage of historical data in this report.

Concise Analysis Of The Sector

The structural strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of commercial banking do not usually change much from quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q). Nevertheless, they need to be explained in some clarity - even if only so that they may provide a context for the rest of the report. The publisher has re-examined and (in most cases) substantially extended the SWOT analysis. Much more than previously, the SWOT analysis represents an 'at a glance' overview of what really matters for the overall commercial banking sector.

Broader And Deeper International Context

For a very long time before the global financial crisis reached a critical phase in mid-September 2008, commercial banking was inherently international in nature. In other words, it was a rare commercial banking sector indeed that was totally isolated from cross-border influences. However, international influences have become even more important than before as a result of the crisis. In response to this, the publisher has extended the range of countries whose commercial banking sectors they consider each quarter by 11 - Bahrain, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, the UK, the US and Vietnam are now analysed. Our reports also include new Global and Regional Outlooks.

Deeper Economic Analysis

The report includes more extensive coverage of our views of the economic outlook for each country. It also includes a section that deals with monetary and exchange rate policy.

Clearer Identification Of Protagonists

The report now looks more closely at the mandates of central banks, regulators and trade associations.

Clearer Definition Of The Commercial Banking Universe

The report now includes a specific definition of the universe of commercial banks in each country. In most cases, it also includes a comprehensive list of identifiable institutions. (The main exception to this is the US, where it confines the list to the 50 largest banks in terms of deposits.) By defining the commercial banking universe, and listing a much greater number of institutions that are active in each country, it hopes that our reports are of much greater value to other researchers.
