Banking institutions are indispensable to any nation’s economy and financial setup. They provide borrowing/saving opportunities and other important facilities to the general public and corporate entities. Customers are increasingly likely to rely on the large banks that can provide national or even global services, and which can offer more competitive interest rates. Market capitalization is the cumulative value of a company, including all subsidiaries and commercial assets. The corporate market capitalization is calculated from the stock exchange price of its shares.
