Biggest Emerging Markets Banks 2013


ANNUAL REPORT: BIG IS BETTER

Global Finance presents its annual listing of the biggest Banks in the Emerging Markets.

Ten of the biggest 11 emerging markets banks as ranked by asset size are Chinese, and a total of 19 Chinese banks claim a place in our ranking of the biggest 50 emerging markets banks worldwide. These 19 banks show assets of $15.7 billion, accounting for roughly 70% of the combined assets of the biggest 50 emerging markets banks.

The largest 50 emerging markets banks showed combined assets of approximately $22.3 billion. Only Banco do Brasil, the 7th-biggest emerging markets bank, is able to challenge the dominance of Chinese banks when ranked by size. Brazil contributes five other banks to the biggest 50, accounting for 11% of combined total assets. Korea contributes eight banks to the biggest 50, but they are smaller—the eight account for only 7% of the combined assets of the top 50. Russia contributes four banks and 4% of the total assets.

Twelve countries contribute to the listing of the largest 50 banks in emerging markets, in contrast to only 10 that contribute to the list of safest banks. India, Malaysia, Mexico and Turkey contribute seven banks between them to the rankings of biggest banks, although their banks fall far short of qualifying for inclusion in the rankings of global safest banks.
