Euromoney's ninth Asian company ranking is based on a survey of market analysts at leading banks and research institutes in Asia. We received replies from 47 institutions. Respondents were asked to nominate the top three companies in each of the countries or sectors they covered, bearing in mind market strength, profitability, growth potential and quality of management and earnings. Points were awarded on the usual scale of 4:3:2. We received nominations for 462 companies for all categories.
A number of other countries and industry sectors were included in the survey, but did not receive enough responses to be published.
