Chinese banks dominate the net interest income rankings in this year’s Top 1000 World Banks. In the 2013 ranking, the top three lenders by this measure (and the only ones to make more than $50bn of net interest income) were from China.
Moreover, in contrast to banks from the US and western Europe, their net interest income is rising. ICBC’s increased 15% over last year’s figure, while China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China’s went up by 16% and 11%, respectively.
