Australian quartet keep top Asia-Pacific positions

摘要

Australian banks have kept a tight grip on the top of the Asia-Pacific (excluding China and Japan) rankings, with Commonwealth Bank holding onto its number one position. The bank has also retained its 45th position in the global rankings, as its Tier 1 capital increased by 3.15% to $42bn in 2018. Westpac Banking Corporation is still in second place, although its Tier 1 capital slipped by 1.43% in the review period. ANZ Banking Group remains in third with $38bn of Tier 1 capital, a fall of 1.8% on last year. National Australia Bank rounds out an all-Australian top four with $35bn in Tier 1 capital - a decline of 5.61%. No other Australian lender appears in the Asia-Pacific (excluding China and Japan) top 25 table.
