We are pleased to announce an enhancement to the Significant Bank Database with the addition of two new variables: Operating income and Non-interest income. These additions expand the database’s coverage of bank performance metrics and provide users with greater flexibility in analyzing the composition of bank revenues.
The new Operating income variable captures the total income generated from a bank’s core operations. This measure provides a broader view of revenue generation than interest-based metrics alone and facilitates comparisons across institutions with different business models.
We are also introducing Non-interest income, a measure designed to capture income generated from sources other than net interest activities. This measure captures revenue streams such as fees, commissions, trading income, asset management services, and other non-interest-generating activities.
These new variables complement the existing income measures in the Significant Bank Database and support a richer analysis of bank performance and revenue structure. As always, variable definitions are available in the database materials.
We hope these additions further improve the value of the Significant Bank Database for researchers and analysts. Subscribe today to access the latest data updates!
