CITIC Research: Reassessing the Value of Large Banks from a Global Perspective
Since 2020, global Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) have demonstrated robust performance in capital markets.

The return drivers for G-SIBs vary across regions: U.S. banks rely on profits and buybacks; European banks on dividends and cyclical reversal; Japanese banks on revaluation driven by interest rate normalization; while Chinese banks exhibit prominent dividend characteristics.
