The Banker ^[1] magazine released the Top 1000 world banks for 2009 based on their Tier 1 capital.

“For the first time in the Top 1000’s 39-year history, the top 25 banks – which account for almost 40% of the Top 1000’s Tier 1 capital and almost 45% of its total assets – recorded a loss, which totalled $32.37bn (-28.1% of Top 1000 profits). Stripping out the profits of the lower reaches of the Top 25 means that the top five banks fared even worse. Representing 13.4% of total Tier 1 capital and 12.3% of total assets, the top five banks lost a staggering $95.8bn (-83.3% of total profits).

The worst losses are at the UK’s Royal Bank of Scotland, with $59.3bn (including losses attributable to minority interests), followed by the US’s Citigroup, with $53bn, and Wells Fargo, which lost $47.7bn. The UK’s HBOS produced the sixth worst losses in the world (see table of worst losses).”

Astonishing. Here’s the Top 25 from the rankings:
