Largest banks by country
Methodology
The degree of concentration in the banking sector continues to differ across countries, ranging from highly-consolidated markets in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Sweden, through intermediate cases like the UK and Switzerland, to more dispersed market shares in Germany and the United States – where the number of banks has nevertheless fallen by 40% since 1979. Despite this drive for size there have so far been relatively few major international bank mergers in Europe, though Belgian and Swiss firms have traditionally been active in cross-border and cross-industry transactions.
