NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2015 — Global Finance has named the Safest Banks in more than 100 countries around the world as part of an exclusive survey to be published in the November 2015 issue.
Two African countries have been added to this year’s list - Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya.
In addition to the Safest Banks by Country, the full report also includes the following rankings: World’s 50 Safest Banks, World’s 50 Safest Commercial Banks, 50 Safest Banks in Emerging Markets, Safest Islamic Financial Institutions in the GCC, Safest Banks by Region (Asia, Australasia, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East/Africa, North America and Western Europe) and Safest Emerging Markets Banks by Region (Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa).
Banks were selected through an evaluation of long-term foreign currency ratings—from Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch—and total assets of the 1000 largest banks worldwide.
“Banks around the world face increasingly tough market landscapes— and must dedicate an increasing amount of their time and resources to managing risk and staying compliant. Those banks that do so successfully have the chance to redefine their relationship with clients,” says Global Finance publisher and editorial director Joseph D. Giarraputo. “Global Finance’s Safest Banks By Country ranking provides companies and investors with an objective tool for benchmarking and analysis on a country-by-country basis.”
