Our strong capitalization, funding, and liquidity positions, combined with our ability to assess and manage risk during crisis times, helped us to not only withstand but to emerge stronger than before.” Global Finance’s annual rankings of the World’s Safest Banks has been the recognized and trusted standard of financial counterparty safety for 30 years already. Winners are selected based on a proprietary methodology that incorporates long-term foreign currency debt ratings by Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.
