Among the emerging economies, Asian banking is the most energetic and expanding one.
In the aftermath of the Asian economic crises, banks in South East Asia were the worst to
get affected, but they are clawing back to normalcy with aggressive pace, quite often
strongly supported by the their governments. Despite impressive growth of capital markets
in the Asian region, banking remains a strong anchor supporting economic growth.
This paper discusses in brief three major aspects of Asian banking. Growth, Structure and
Efficiency. Growth depicts the growth of banking activity in the region; structure describes
features such as who owns banking and efficiency profiles recent operational performance
of banks across the Asian region. In all these aspects suitable comparisons with banking
systems in other emerging economies is also done. Data used in the paper is sources from
secondary sources. This paper restricts the use of the data in describing the features and it
does not contain analytics.
