It is important to note that the figures above give an indication of the relative Assets at a specific time. These figures are dynamic and change with "take-overs" between banks, fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies (figures converted to US$ for the comparison) etc. It is however interesting to follow the trend of Assets of the most prominent banks over the last few years.
