Philippine Banking Industry Outlook Positive Despite Recession

The Philippine banking industry seems to be unaffected by the global financial crisis. And despite the liquidity crunch in various developed and emerging economies, the Philippine banking industry has been able to sustain the growth level.

According to a research analyst at RNCOS, -The banks in Philippines have benefitted from a series of reforms undertaken in past and intervention by the regulator to increase the capital base and to have better risk management strategies in place. The multipoint policy adopted by the industry during the last quarter of 2008 has resulted in minimum risk exposure to the banks in Philippines. Restricting dollar sales only for outward investment, enabling active lending between banks and low level of investments in foreign assets has resulted in positive outlook of the industry in current economic turbulence. Banks in Philippines have limited their investment in local blue chip companies because of the high yield from the Philippine Stock Exchange.-

Banks in Philippines are opting for high degree of penetration, mergers and acquisitions, and high credit growth rate at a time when banks in other developed and emerging economies are writing off assets base and slowing down credit disbursal rate. However, according to -Philippines Banking Sector Analysis-, a research report from RNCOS, the sector will manage to book a CAGR growth of 10% in its asset base through 2010.

Egyptian Banking System Expanding on Middle Class, Financial Meltdown Ineffective

RNCOS, a leading market research firm, said in its new report -Egypt Banking Sector Analysis-, with the significantly low penetration and growing middle class segment, the total deposits at banks in Egypt are projected to grow at a CAGR of 14% from 2007-08 to 2010-11.

As per the report, banking penetration is quite low in Egypt and most of the Egyptians are still unbanked. This is evident from the fact that only 10% of Egyptians currently have a bank account, and only 4% had a debit card as on end of 2007. But the growing middle class population (due to increasing income) and rising awareness level is enabling this unbanked population to access banking services like bank deposits facility. Thus, prospects of the banking sector are reasonably bright as the emergence of middle class population will support the rising demand of banking services like saving and current account deposits and related services like payment cards.

But the most astonishing fact about the Egyptian banking industry is that it will remain unaffected by the ongoing economic meltdown. As per a Research Analyst at RNCOS, -We do not see any significant impact of global financial turmoil on the deposits as the Egyptian system is dominated by state-owned banks. Otherwise also, the system is enjoying a high-support environment, with the country’s authorities having historically demonstrated both their willingness and their ability to intervene and prevent a banking default by any of the Egyptian banks, irrespective of their size or relative importance to the system.-
