Methodology

From September to November of 2012, Greenwich Associates conducted 505 interviews in large corporate banking, 120 in debt capital markets and 766 interviews in large corporate cash management with financial officers (e.g., CFOs, finance directors and treasurers) at companies in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

These executives are asked to name the banks they use for general corporate banking, cash management, capital advisory services, and trade finance; to quantify the share of their business allocated to each provider; and to rate these banks according to a series of important criteria.

Banks receiving the highest number of citations as service providers are named Greenwich Share Leaders. Banks receiving quality ratings that exceed those of competitors by a statistically significant margin are named Greenwich Quality Leaders.
