In contrast to 2012, the top 25 Highest Movers table for 2013's Top 1000 World Bank is no longer mainly a story of Chinese growth. Whereas Chinese banks occupied 16 positions in the table last year, there are only four such banks in this year's ranking.
While the aggregate capital growth among the Chinese highest movers has slowed to 17.71% this year, from 27.6% in the 2012 ranking, it is China Industrial Bank – ranked 24th in the table – that has recorded the largest Tier 1 capital among the high flyers, at $26.02bn.
