These insurance products, accounting for over three-fourth (79%) of total life insurance sales in China, will continue to occupy the majority of sales during the forecast period also, as these products offer tri-benefits of life risk cover, investment and tax saving facility in a single product.

13. Bulgarian Banks Aggressively Building Deposits, Flouting Economic Meltdown



RNCOS, a leading market research firm, said in its new report “Bulgaria Banking Sector Analysis”, with favorable consumer behavior and bankers’ aggressive campaigning to attract capital, deposits in Bulgarian banks will continue growing at accelerated pace in coming years.

Earlier, when access to credit in international markets was easy and cheap, Bulgarian banks had little incentive to go out of their way to pursue aggressive campaigns to build their deposit bases domestically. But as the unrelenting financial crisis continues to squeeze out available re-financing opportunities, lenders have increasingly started turning to customers to attract fresh capital from deposits, confirming what some bankers had forecasted at the start of 2008.

According to an analyst at RNCOS, “Banks are offering annual interest rates of over 9% on six-month deposits in Leva, rates that were unthinkable a year ago, and that started being offered on two- and three-year term deposits just few months back. Interest rates on deposits denominated in Euro are also reaching a record high, though around two percentage points lower on average than on deposits in Bulgarian currency.”

Also, despite of the financial crisis, bank deposits remain the preferred investment instrument for Bulgarians. Bank deposits accounted for 65.2% of the 33.5 Billion Leva in financial wealth accumulated by Bulgarians, rising by 28% over the previous 12 months (December 2007 to November 2008).

“Bulgaria Banking Sector Analysis” provides thorough information on the Bulgarian banking industry and evaluates product quality and the services it offers. It also helps clients to identify the opportunities vital for the success of the banking industry in the country. It substantiates the in-depth analysis with statistical information on the banking industry so that investors, financial service providers and global banking players to understand the market.

Beside this, the report also gives forecast on disposable income, number of bankable households, loans/deposits ratio, loans/assets ratio, consumer loans, commercial loans, housing mortgage loans, and agriculture loans extended by the banking industry.

14. US loses 2.6 million jobs in 2008. What's next?



Including december job losses the US economy lost nearly 2.6 million jobs in 2008. Of those, 1.9 million vanished in just the final four months of the year (524,000 jobs were cut last month). That's the highest annual decline since the end of World War 2. The key question now is "Will 2009 be as bad?"

Is it possible that 2009 will be worse? We know that the jobs lag the cycle because employers don't want prematurely to fire someone, but it's clearly nasty recession and there is no choise for them. Employers start doing the math and they see that there is no way to reduce expenses than to fire emplayees. That's what we've seen during the last few months, and, probably, what we'll see during next several months. In August 2008 jobless rate equaled 6,2%, in December 2008 it reached 7,2% according http://www.stockmarketsreview.com.

Average work week plunged to the all-time low 33.3 hours a week, well below the expectations. It's a leading signal of the future job cuts. We have more pending job guts set up for the first quarter and in January 2009 we can see higher job declines than in December 2008. John Herrmann of Herrmann Forecasting predicts thatnext month number of job cuts can be twice as high as in December 2008.

However, we have to say that stock indices may start to rise before the unemployment rate reaches its peak. For example, in October of 2002 S&P500 reached its bottom after falling down during several years. Unemployment rate continued to rise at the same time continued to rise till the middle of 2003, when it peaked and started to come down. So there was 6-8 months lag when stocks were going up while unemployment was still going up. It's possible to explain such situation by suggestion that a lot of people came back to labour force after recession period of 2000-2002 ended. While they were looking for jobs they were counted as unemployed. But it's too early consider such situation to be repeated, because it's pretty long time to wait for those times when current economic slowdown reaches its bottom.

16. Philippine Banking Industry Outlook Positive Despite Recession



The Philippine banking industry seems to be unaffected by the global financial crisis. And despite the liquidity crunch in various developed and emerging economies, the Philippine banking industry has been able to sustain the growth level.

According to a research analyst at RNCOS, “The banks in Philippines have benefitted from a series of reforms undertaken in past and intervention by the regulator to increase the capital base and to have better risk management strategies in place. The multipoint policy adopted by the industry during the last quarter of 2008 has resulted in minimum risk exposure to the banks in Philippines. Restricting dollar sales only for outward investment, enabling active lending between banks and low level of investments in foreign assets has resulted in positive outlook of the industry in current economic turbulence. Banks in Philippines have limited their investment in local blue chip companies because of the high yield from the Philippine Stock Exchange.”

Banks in Philippines are opting for high degree of penetration, mergers and acquisitions, and high credit growth rate at a time when banks in other developed and emerging economies are writing off assets base and slowing down credit disbursal rate. However, according to “Philippines Banking Sector Analysis”, a research report from RNCOS, the sector will manage to book a CAGR growth of 10% in its asset base through 2010.

“Philippines Banking Sector Analysis” contains comprehensive research and rational analysis on various segments, like assets size, income level and number of cardholders, in the Philippines banking industry.

The report gives future outlook of different aspects of the banking industry such as financial cards, mobile banking, bancassurance, industry assets, mutual fund assets under management, number of credit cards, IT spending by banking industry, microfinance and life insurance product sales etc. The future projections are made after analyzing the current market scenario, past trends and regulations laid by the central bank.

This report helps clients to dissect the leading-edge opportunities critical to the success of the banking industry in the country and detailed data supported with analysis helps investors, financial service providers, and global banking players to navigate through it.

Market Analysis

The demand for banking services has grown as confidence in the sector has gradually returned and incomes increased since 1997. Total assets of the commercial banks rose by 45% in local-currency terms in 2005 and are estimated to have grown by around 23% in 2006. Banks have increased their lending, particularly to households, and have shifted away from their previous pattern of holding large deposits overseas.

After these increases, loans to the non-financial sector accounted for 66% of deposits in September 2006.

Credit cards are still not often used in the country, but the expansion of e-commerce and international travel is boosting the demand for this service in the country. Moreover, the creation of a centralized credit-reporting agency in 2004 will make it easier for the banks to offer credit cards to their customers.
