The second place is taken by China Construction Bank ($ 203.8 billion), the third - by JPMorgan Chase ($ 291.7 billion).
Also, Forbes noted that the rating indicators were strongly influenced by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The market value of most companies in the list has decreased significantly compared to last year.
