Bankonként

Bankonként is a Hungarian term used in statistics and financial reporting to indicate that a metric is presented separately for each bank. It literally means per bank and is used to describe data that are broken down by financial institution rather than aggregated across all banks. In practice, bankonként data allow analysts and regulators to compare performance, risk indicators, or balances between individual banks and to identify outliers or patterns that might be obscured by aggregate figures.

Common applications include bankonkénti loan portfolios, where the size and composition of loans are shown for each bank; bankonkénti profitability, capital adequacy, liquidity ratios, or risk-weighted assets. Data are typically arranged in tables or data frames with one row per bank and columns for the metric, or in a series (bankonkénti) for each bank.

The term is widely used in Hungarian banking statistics, supervisory reporting and financial stability analyses. It helps ensure comparability by showing metrics at the level of each institution, though care must be taken to ensure consistent scope, reporting standards, and coverage across banks. Bankonkénti figures may be complemented by aggregate totals or by normalization (for example, relative to total assets) to facilitate cross-bank comparisons.

Etymology: bankonként is formed from bank (bank) and -onként, a suffix meaning per or for each. It is distinct from per-account expressions such as bankszámlánként, which would refer to individual bank accounts rather than institutions.
