Global Finance ranks the 50 Biggest Banks in Emerging Markets

 

NEW YORK, November 7, 2011Global Finance reveals its fourth annual ranking of the World’s Biggest Banks in Emerging Markets, as measured by total assets.

 

China’s banks are continuing to move up the league tables. The country has six banks among the top 50 in emerging markets. Moreover, the BRIC countries dominate the top 20, with 17 banks. Government-owned banks lead the market by size in the BRIC countries—accounting for 50% of total banking sector assets in China, 40% in Brazil and Russia and reaching 70% in India.

 

Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher of Global Finance, says: “As the developed world looks to emerging markets to help provide global economic stability, these banks are leading the way—providing not only their strong balance sheets, but also increasingly sophisticated products and services to clients that are the engines of growth, both regionally and globally.”
