Methodology

To create the ranking of Africa’s Top 200 banks, we send out questionnaires to 665 financial institutions on the continent.

 

Their replies are used to create a systematic ranking of Africa’s Top 350 banks, based on total asset size. We publish only the Top 200 banks in our list.


 

All the data is communicated to us by the banks themselves or by their parent companies.
 The numbers relate to the 2007 financial year (some from the year ending June 2008).

 

They are converted to US dollar amounts from local currency, using the exchange rates applicable on 31 December 2007, to allow for comparison.
