The Asian Banker 500 is a database of the Asia Pacific region's 500 largest banks by assets, with an additional ranking of the largest banks by assets in the Arab Middle East.  The database also applies this list of large banks to a strength formula that is defined by 12 parameters; and while the largest banks in the region may not change much year after year from a list dominated by Japanese, Chinese and Australian lenders, they are not always the same as the strongest banks - and in such an extraordinary year, this has been less so than any other.  Asian Banker 500 helps you answer questions such as:

• Which bank is the most profitable bank in the Asia Pacific region?
• Which bank is the most efficient bank in the region in terms of managing capital?
• What are the top 10 banks in difficult countries such as Sri Lanka?
• Which bank has the lowest non performing loan ratio in Thailand?
• What are the strongest banks in India?
• Which country has the most profitable banks in Arab Middle East?
