Banks, often seen as the barometer of an economy, are experiencing tremendous strain from these challenges. Following our recent research analysing property market developments, in this note we analyse the banking sector’s overall health by examining its asset growth, asset quality and exposure to troubled economic sectors — specifically, the property market and local government debt.
