OCBC, UOB, DBS had the highest market share gains in the past 9 years

Followed by Korean and Indian large banks.

According to Barclays, for the past nine years (2003-11), large banks in Asia excluding Japan, recorded a 1.3% decline in deposit market share gains: 51% for 2011 vs. 52.3% for 2003.

Here's more from Barclays:

The decline was attributable to the 15.6% fall in market share for China large banks. Excluding China’s large banks as well as those in Japan, large Asian banks posted a moderate 1.1% deposit market share gain for the period.

China’s largest five state-owned banks witnessed broader restructuring in their businesses during their pre-IPO period, leading to a steady fall in their deposit shares for 2003-07.

Singapore large banks (+11.3%) grew the most during the period, followed by the Korean (+2.1%) and Indian (+1.1%) large banks. Taiwan’s large banks posted 0.3% gains during the period. China’s banks declined the most followed by Indonesian (4.4%) and Hong Kong (3.6%) large banks.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
