Global Finance names
the World’s 50 Safest Banks 2011
NEW YORK, August 18, 2011 – Bank stability is
an ever-more pressing concern for the world’s corporations and investors. It is
within this context that Global Finance announces it’s 20th Annual
Ranking of the World’s 50 Safest Banks.
The sovereign debt crisis is still raging in
Europe and renewed fears of contagion from southern European countries is
affecting banking and market outlooks throughout Europe.Global political
instability is also in the spotlight—from the upheavals in the Middle East and
Africa to the US debt downgrade by Standard & Poor’s, companies are
watching closely to see how these events are affecting their counterparties.
With more than 40 of the top 50 banks from last
year once again making the list, the Global Finance ranking shows that
most of the top echelon of banks are truly worthy of the moniker World’s Safest
Bank. Winners were selected through an evaluation of long-term credit ratings—from
Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch—and total assets of the 500 largest
banks worldwide.
Global Finance’s annual ranking of World’s 50 Safest Banks is a recognized and trusted standard of
creditworthiness for the entire financial world. “Counterparty creditworthiness
is a critical issue for companies and investors worldwide,” says Global
Finance publisher Joseph D. Giarraputo. “More than ever, companies around
the world are reevaluating the long-term credit strength of their banks, and
partnering with only those banks that have proven strength and stability.”
This exclusive survey will be published in the
October issue of Global Finance. The banks ranked 1-10 will be presented
awards at a special ceremony to be held during the Annual Meetings of the IMF
and World Bank in Washington in September.
