The ranking has since been expanded to include banks in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia as well as Islamic banks globally.

    World's strongest Islamic banks in 2020

    The Asian Banker has been publishing the world’s first authoritative annual ranking of the Strongest Banks in Asia Pacific since 2007 based on balance sheet strength. It uses a detailed and transparent scorecard to evaluate the ranking which entails six areas of balance sheet financial performance: the ability to scale, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability, asset quality and liquidity. The ranking has since been expanded to include banks in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia as well as Islamic banks globally.

    In this year’s The Asian Banker Strongest Islamic Banks By Balance Sheet evaluation, Al Rajhi Bank retained its top spot as the strongest Islamic bank. This is based on a detailed and transparent scorecard that evaluates Islamic banks on six areas of balance sheet financial performance, namely the ability to scale, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability, asset quality and liquidity. This year, financial information in the first half of the financial year 2020 (1H FY2020) was collated and incorporated into the assessment of how Islamic banks performed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The overall profitability of Islamic banks weakened amid the pandemic. The average return on assets stood at 1.1% in 1H FY2020, lower than 1.5% in 1H FY2019, and the cost to income ratio was up slightly from 41.3% to 41.5%. The average asset growth of Islamic banks listed accelerated from 8.7% year-on-year (yoy) at the end of 1H FY2019 to 13% yoy at the end of 1H FY2020, which is higher than the average asset growth recorded by the 200 largest banks in the Middle East and Africa at 10.9% yoy and the 500 largest banks in Asia Pacific at 10.3% yoy.
