This year’s Top 1000 World Banks new arrivals ranking provides a good insight into the fortunes of the world’s regional economies over the past 18 months. Chinese and Russian lenders have failed to make an impact on this year’s new arrivals category, despite the fact that Chinese institutions have further strengthened their grip on the main Top 1000 ranking.
Just five Chinese banks make the new arrivals category in 2015, compared with 19 in the 2014 edition. Moreover, not a single bank from Russia makes it into the top 44 new arrivals this year, compared with the eight that were present last year.
