New Market Study Published: Venezuela Commercial Banking Report Q3 2011

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Emerging Markets Still Set To Outperform  Our outlook for commercial banking in emerging markets remains broadly positive, with more robust  economic growth and healthier banking systems than in most of their developed world counterparts. We  emphasise that the key macroeconomic dynamics underpinning global banking in 2011 will continue to  be deflation and deleveraging in much of the developed world, contrasting with inflation and lending  growth in emerging markets. The implementation of quantitative easing policies by major central banks,  notably the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, will result in the purchase of hundreds of billions  of dollars worth of government securities in an effort to grease the wheels of lending. While we are not  convinced that quantitative easing will have significant positive effects for economic growth, or even for  lending, increasing central bank support will further reduce the potential for another systemic banking  crisis, which fits with our core assumptions. However, it could fuel asset price inflation and tighter policy  in emerging markets, which could eventually lead to a boom-and-bust cycle. Meanwhile, the introduction  of a new Basel framework on banking regulation will also underpin confidence in banking stability, and  does not greatly threaten lending growth, given banks' pre-emptive capital raising and the gradual  schedule for Basel III implementation.  Regional Outlooks: Uneven Recovery Underway  Below we present brief outlooks for regional banking sectors:  Developed states: We continue to expect underperformance by the developed world's banking sectors in  terms of loan growth and profitability compared with emerging markets. This is due to our belowconsensus  outlook for economic growth in developed states, the likelihood of retrenchment by both  households and governments, and the potential for tighter sector regulation. In the US, loan growth will  remain slow due to ongoing post-recession household deleveraging. A major concern for the eurozone  heading into 2011 is the impact that government austerity measures will have on demand. Should  governments cut too far at a time when consumer spending and investment is yet to sufficiently recover,  growth could quickly stagnate. This would further dent the operating outlook for European banks and  could mean more deterioration in asset quality as non-performing loans edge higher.
