For the first time in seven years, China does not dominate the highest movers table. This year, only two Chinese banks – Bank of Cangzhou and Qishang Bank – make it into the top 25, compared with nine in the past two years and a high of 15 banks in 2010 and 2011.
The US has the largest number of the banks in the table – six – the same as last year, and Russia is a close second with five.
