In last years's Top 1000 World Bank ranking, the share of world banks' profits between the roaring Asian countries and western Europe was relatively close. But in this year's rankings, things have gone a little differently. The Asia-Pacific region distanced itself from the rest of the world with a 40.61% share of global pre-tax profits (up from 37-08% in last year's rankings), while western Europe went down to 24.6% (down from 31.19%). North America lenders' profits were an improved 20.27% share of the total, up from 13.78% in last year's ranking.
