Hey folks,
I developed an app that allows the user to see the processes of concentration of banking over the last 30 years throuhg the observation of two factors:
- Accumulation of consolidated assets.
- Mergers and acquisition activities of the the biggest four commercials banks (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup) (AKA The Big Four).
The data sources comes from:
- Federal Reserve.
- National Information Center.
Insights:
- On average, the Big Four banks increased their consolidated assets at a rate of $21.07 billion per quarter over the last 20 years.
- As of the first quarter of 2023, the Big Four banks control 42.18% of all consolidated assets among all US large commerical banks.
- Uptake activity in mergers and acquisition by the Big Four banks over the last 30 years.
Check it out!
Cheers,
Juancho
