Singaporean banks dominate the list once again this year, taking the top three positions.
The full report includes the following rankings: World’s 50 Safest Banks, World’s 50 Safest Commercial Banks, Safest Banks by Country, 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).
“The past year has been a rollercoaster for companies and investors, as some of the region’s biggest markets have seen intense volatility and major market changes. Global Finance’s Safest Banks ranking 2015 highlights those banks that have built strong foundations—providing safety and security in this rapidly changing market landscape,” says Global Finance publisher and editorial director Joseph D. Giarraputo. “This ranking is an invaluable tool for companies and investors to evaluate institutional strength.”
