BEIJING TOPS IFC ASSET LIST

摘要

With four of the world's 10 strongest banks being headquartered in Beijing, it comes as little surprise that the Chinese financial hub tops the ranking of international financial centres (IFCs) by bank assets looking at the figures taken from 2011. The aggregate assets of Beijing's banks total $9627.6bn, a figure 21% larger than the same ranking last year. Such substantial growth is explained by the performances of ICBC, China Construction Bank, Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China, which occupy the third, sixth, ninth and 10th places in The Banker's Top 1000 World Banks ranking. In their 2011 financial reports, the four lenders have total asset values of $8136.35bn, a growth of 21.7% from their 2010 financial records.
