NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2014 — Global Finance magazine has named the Safest Emerging Markets Banks in the Middle East in an exclusive survey to be published in the November 2014 issue.
In addition to the Safest Emerging Markets Banks By Region, the report includes the following rankings: World’s 50 Safest Banks, World’s Safest Banks By Region, World’s Top 50 Safest Commercial Bank, Top 50 Safest Banks In Emerging Markets, Safest Islamic Financial Institutions In The GCC, World’s 50 Biggest Banks and the Biggest Emerging Markets Banks.
Global Finance evaluates the ratings and total assets of the main players in developing economies to create the rankings—providing an overview of the key banks in each region and which financial institutions offer the greatest security. Banks were selected through an evaluation of long-term credit ratings—from Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings—and total assets of the 500 largest banks in emerging markets.
“It is essential for companies to have a clear view on the strength and stability of their emerging markets banking partners,” says Global Finance publisher and editorial director Joseph D. Giarraputo. “This ranking is an invaluable tool for companies to evaluate institutional strength in fast-growing, but volatile, emerging markets.”
