Positive momentum has been sustained in this year’s Asia-Pacific (excluding China and Japan) results, as strong growth figures are underscored by a dynamic range of new players entering the rankings. Australian institutions fill the first four positions in the top 25, with the Commonwealth Bank Group improving three places to take the top spot with $35.14bn in Tier 1 capital. This success was replicated at the global level, where the bank rose from 45th position to 42nd.
