Sources: Annual reports over 2000-2005 and own calculations for the Index (see the Annex for underlying data); The Banker (July, 2005) for capital strength.
Notes: 'Home' is defined as a bank's business in its home country (denoted by h); 'Rest of the region' is defined as a bank's business in other countries in the region (denoted by r); 'Rest of world' is defined as
a bank's business in countries outside the region (denoted by w). The three categories add up to 100%. Banks are ranked according to 'capital strength' (Tier 1 capital as of year-end 2004) as reported by the
Banker. The abbreviation 'n.a.' means 'not available'. '-' means this has been acquired by another bank.
