Financial Performance

Steven I. Davis

Chapter 6 in The Euro-Bank, 1980, pp 98-117 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The financial performance of Euro-banks can perhaps best be evaluated by analysis of the published data of as large as possible a sample of Euro-banks for the period 1973–8. There exists precious little in the form of official compilations of this data or private surveys of institutions which correspond to my definition of Euro-banks. To provide comparable data for banks in different markets and, more importantly, to develop a sufficiently long time scale for comparative purposes, I have prepared my own Euro-bank samples for London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Luxembourg. Prior to 1973 the limited numbers and maturity of Euro-banks even in London render the data base of minimum utility to the analyst. The early years of the 1973–8 period, however, were quite significant in view of the credit losses incurred during 1974/75 and the liquidity problems stemming from the Herstatt crisis of confidence.
