The project aims to highlight banks’ financial performance and update the public and potential investors. In the table below, bank organizations are ranked by capital adequacy in accordance with the available data as at January 1, 2009.
The capital adequacy is the percentage of a bank’s total capital to its assets. It is the simplest way to find ballpark ratio on the basis of simple figures released by banks.
Although banks attempt to operate on the minimum capital, government regulators support regular increase in the capitalization. The capital adequacy shows general credibility of a bank.
This indicator allows depositors to assess the risk they may face.
