The dominance of Chinese lenders in The Banker’s Top 300 Asia-Pacific Banks ranking continues for another year. The overall table – based upon 2017 financial results – shows Chinese lenders holding seven of the top 10 places, with only Japanese lenders breaking up the country's dominance.
The strength of China's banks stems from substantial Tier 1 growth, with even the smaller lenders enjoying considerable gains. The only bank in the top 10 for Tier 1 growth not from the Chinese mainland is Union Bank of Taiwan in ninth position.
