Innovest's Global Banking Sector Overview Now Available

Innovest's Global Banking Sector Overview is now available.

Greg Larkin, Senior Analyst at Innovest  and co-author of the report said, " Currently, there is a huge amount of uncertainty and noise surrounding the banking sector. In this report Innovest cuts through the noise and provides concrete data about which banks are exposed to what risks."

In particular, the report answers two critical questions:

 

1) What are the consumer assets that banks are exposed to? How much of these assets are underpinned by borrowers who can’t pay them back?

2) What is the risk intensity of the companies that banks have financed?  How much money might be lost if and when these risks materialize?
