New York, February 25, 2009
Such has been the turmoil in the world's banking industry that, for the first time, Global Finance magazine is publishing a mid-year update of its muchrespected Safest Banks listing. A full report on the list will appear in the April issue of Global Finance. The "World's 50 Safest Banks" 2009 were selected through a comparison of the long-term credit ratings and total assets of the 500 largest banks around the world. Ratings from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch were used.
Global Finance has published its "World's Safest Banks" listing for 17 years and this ranking has become a recognized and trusted standard of creditworthiness for the entire financial world. "The rating agencies have determined these banks have demonstrated a more prudent and sustainable approach to risk than their peers," says Global Finance publisher Joseph D. Giarraputo. "More than ever customers all around the world are viewing long term creditworthiness as the key feature of the banks with which they do business."
Global FInance, which celebrates its 22nd year of publishing in 2009, has 50,000 subscribers and more than 180,000 readers in over 158 countries. This audience includes chairmen, presidents, CEOs, CFOs, treasurers, and other financial officers responsible for making investments and strategic business decisions for large global companies and financial institutions. Global Finance also targets the 8,000 key portfolio investors who control over 80% of all assets under professional management.
