Japanese banks sustain a strong performance in the country listings, with all lenders increasing their Tier 1 capital in 2016 except Fukuoka Financial Group. Out of Japan’s top 25, Fukuoka has also suffered the most in the global Top 1000 ranking, dropping 19 places to 231.
Japanese lenders’ performance in the world ranking is mixed, however. Nine of the top 25 banks have moved up, while 11 banks have lost ground. Two lenders stay put and the remaining three are new to the country ranking.
