Bankscope

Finally, to end up with the databases series that we have been publishing, I would like to introduce you Bankscope, the database from Bureau Van Dijk specialized on banks, whose financial information is becoming more and more important nowadays at least here in Spain.

This database, as the ones we saw back in the previous posts of this blog, offers the same information than all the other databases from this company, Bankscope includes:

• Detailed financials - statements are in multiple formats including a new universal format to compare banks globally
• Interim data
• Ratings, and rating reports, from FitchRatings, Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Capital Intelligence
• Country risk and country finance reports
• Stock data for listed banks
• Directors and contacts
• Original filings/images
• Detailed bank structures
• Economic country profiles and outlooks
• Business and related news
• M&A deals and rumours
• Fitch Bank Credit Model for 11,000 banks

So this program can help us to make comparisons between banks and monitor the banks' last movements through their alert system that directly send you an e-mail with the latest news from the selected subject.

This is the end of the database series. I hope they will be useful in your coming researches.
