As of the first half of 2023, North American banks experienced a moderation in profitability, with Profit Before Tax (PBT) margin and Return on Equity (ROE) easing to 35.9% and 12.0%, respectively. The decline was attributed to a buildup in impairments as banks endeavored to create more risk assets. Canadian banks, particularly Toronto-Dominion Bank and Bank of Montreal, showcased the region’s best Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), emphasizing the importance of strong capital buffers in navigating uncertainties.

Latin America and the Caribbean: Resilient Bottom-Line Amid Macroeconomic Challenges

Despite deteriorating macroeconomic fundamentals, banks in Latin America and the Caribbean showcased resilience in maintaining their bottom-line performance. Grupo Financiero Banorte and Grupo Financiero Inbursa (Mexico) outperformed peers with impressive Capital Adequacy Ratios (CAR) and Cost-of-Risk (CoR) figures, highlighting effective cost management and risk mitigation strategies.

Europe: Divergent Approaches Yield Impressive Profits

European banks demonstrated divergence in risk approaches, with Western European (WE) lenders adopting a conservative framework, while Eastern European (EE) banks grew loan books and managed risks adeptly. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (Sweden) emerged as the most robust lender, displaying resilience in the face of uncertainties. The positive momentum is expected to continue in 2023, driven by favorable inflation trajectories and stabilizing political landscapes.

Asia-Pacific: Strong Risk Management Translates to Robust Profitability

Asia-Pacific banks stood out with the best capital-to-risk asset ratio, showcasing improvements in Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Cost-of-Risk (CoR). Bank Central Asia Tbk PT (Indonesia) and National Australia Bank exhibited strong financial positions, underlining the effectiveness of risk management and operational efficiency.

Middle East and Africa: Robust Profitability Amidst Regional Challenges

Banks in the Middle East and Africa emerged as the most profitable, with impressive PBT margin, ROE, and ROA figures. Qatar National Bank and Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM (Israel) showcased efficiency in cost-to-income ratios and asset quality. Despite regional instability, the banks’ commendable risk management and capital adequacy offer resilience against new challenges in the short term.

As the global banking sector continues to navigate uncertainties, the strategies employed by these diverse regions provide insights into the industry’s adaptability and fortitude. The roller coaster ride of challenges and triumphs in 2023 sets the stage for an intriguing future in the world of finance.
