The Financial Strength of Philippine Banks according to BSP: From Weakest to Strongest - As of March 31, 2018

A bank's Capital Adequacy Ratio is a measure of a bank's capital and financial strength. BSP requires Philippine banks to measure their capital adequacy in at least three defined ratios:


  1. Total Capital Adequacy Ratio
  2. Tier One Capital Adequacy Ratio
  3. Common Tier One Adequacy Ratio.

For a more detailed understanding of these ratios, you can consult BSP's own implementation guidelines, Investopedia.com, or numerous past posts about this subject.

The basic idea behind these ratios is that the higher the ratio, the more solid the bank is in financial strength, the greater it's ability to absorb losses.  BSP's own minimum for most of these ratios is 6.00 but it generally recommends a minimum of 10.00, especially for large and more systemically important banks (those that are Too Big To Fail or TBTF for short).


Every quarter, several Philippine Banks do not meet these guidelines. As of March 31, 2018, the banks that failed to meet BSP's recommended minimum capital requirements are as follows:



 TOTAL CAR:
  1. Overseas Filipino Bank (formerly Philippine Postal Savings Bank) (Total CAR of -22.51)
  2. Northpoint Development Bank (Total CAR of 0.00)
  3. United Coconut Planters Bank (Total CAR of 7.39)
  4. The Palawan Bank (Total CAR of 8.08)
TIER ONE CAR

Seven banks reported Tier One CAR of 0.00 as of March 31, 2017. One bank, Overseas Filipino Bank (formerly Philippine Postal Savings Bank) reported a Tier One CAR of negative 22.51. Of those that did report Tier One CAR greater than 0.00, six banks have less than the BSP-recommended Tier One CARs of 10.00. These banks are:

  1. Card SME Bank (Tier One CAR of 3.92)
  2. The Palawan Bank (Tier One CAR of 6.36)
  3. Sterling Bank of Asia (Tier One CAR of 7.35)
  4. United Coconut Planters Bank (Tier One CAR of 7.39)
  5. Luzon Development Bank (Tier One CAR of 9.36)
  6. China Bank Savings Inc (Tier One CAR of 9.89)
 
 
COMMON EQUITY TIER ONE CAR


The BSP's reporting guidelines on the Common Equity Tier One CAR (CET1) only took effect as of January 1, 2014.  Banks only started reporting this ratio in their Published Statements of Condition for June 30, 2014.  Forty-seven banks reported their CET1 Ratio as 0.00 for March 31, 2018.

However, of those banks that did report a CET1 Ratio other than 0.00, only two banks reported CET1 Ratios below BSP's recommended ratio:

  1. Philippine Veterans Bank (Common Equity Tier One CAR of 9.40)
  2. China Bank Savings Inc (Common Equity Tier One CAR of 9.89)

The Total CAR, Tier 1 CAR, and Common Equity Tier 1 CAR of Philippine Banks as of March 31, 2018 is as follows:(Banks that do not meet BSP's minimum capital requirements are highlighted in yellow):
