Astounding changes to global banking
Ft.com: The decade for global banks
Drag the slider at the bottom of that chart from 1999 to 2009. In 1999: U.S. has 6 of the world's top 10 banks, including the first 2 and 5 of the top 7. China has none in the top 20. 2009: U.S. has just 3 of the top 10 with 5 being the top position. China has the top 3 (!!) and 4 of the top 10.

"Bank of China is the country's fourth largest commercial bank" [my emphasis]
So, how, pray, is it number three in the world?
Would be great to be able to switch to basing in EUR, Yuan, JPY, and it would be good to be able to view by turnover too (and even better to be able to divide by employees - i.e. Market Cap / Employees or Turnover / Employees).

The line up is very different if you look at assets rather than market capitalisation.
Then Britain has four out of the top five banks in the world.
RBS is no.1, Barclays is no. 2, HSBC is no. 3 and Lloyds/HBOS is no. 5.
