Market Capitalisation of Banks over the past 12-18 months has been a one way ride. (If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s been falling and its bringing the rest of the world with it) Bank’s have obviously been hit hard by the credit crisis so when I was passed this interesting fact from a friend, I thought i’ll share it with you. It’s a very good graphical depiction of what has happen to some of the biggest Banks in the world.

Over these ‘rocky’ times, we have heard many different Banks merging and running into liquidity issues, we have also heard their share prices have dropped significantly in value, But this visual representation (I feel) may help you understand the magnitude of the credit crisis on the Market Capitalisation of the Banks.
