China Construction Bank (CCB) is the second largest of China’s Big Four banks. Last year, the state-owned enterprise reported $200.4 billion in revenue and $46.9 billion in profits. In 2021, it issued 700% more loans than in the previous year, after opening 2,700 new dedicated outlets for small businesses across China. CCB issued those loans with a suite of digital and financial products tailored to borrowers’ needs, including offerings for startups, micro businesses, and agricultural firms. The bank also issued 60% more rental home loans last year than in the year before.

Total revenue for the world’s biggest companies fell 4.8% to $31.7 trillion this year—the first decline in half a decade.

China Construction Bank, or CCB, is No. 2 among China’s Big Four banks and the fourth in the world in terms of market capitalization. Like its three peers, CCB saw its market cap shrink in the second quarter of 2021 as Beijing sought to curb excessive borrowing and as pandemic uncertainty loomed. That followed a COVID-riddled 2020 in which the bank reported a 1.6% rise in net income for the full year to $41.2 billion. The bank continues to undertake its “new finance” strategy, which prioritizes investments in financial technology and inclusive finance loans for micro and small enterprises. By the end of 2020, CCB’s fintech investment had reached $3.4 billion, a 25% increase year on year, and it became the country’s first bank to break the RMB 1 trillion ($155 billion) threshold for inclusive finance loans.

This year's Fortune Global 500 generated $33.3 trillion in revenues and $2.1 trillion in profits.

Like all of China’s “Big Four” banking giants, China Construction Bank saw its market capitalization slump in the first half of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic chased investors away from the financial sector. But being a big, majority state-owned institution has its advantages: CCB’s large capital reserves and government support should help it weather the economic downturn brought on by the pandemic, even as smaller Chinese banks struggle.

This year's Fortune Global 500 generated $27.7 trillion in revenues and $1.5 trillion in profits.

This year's Fortune Global 500 generated $27.6 trillion in revenues and $1.5 trillion in profits.

The world's 500 largest companies generated $31.2 trillion in revenues and $1.7 trillion in profits in 2014. Together, this year's Fortune Global 500 employ 65 million people worldwide and are represented by 36 countries.

Global business is back. After limping through a worldwide financial crisis and economic slowdown, the 500 largest companies ranked by revenues shattered all sorts of performance records in 2013: They racked up combined revenues of $31.1 trillion, up 2.5% from 2012, and profits soared 27% to nearly $2 trillion. China’s 95 companies (up from 89 last year) posted $5.8 trillion in revenues. The U.S. has four fewer companies on the list than last year but remains (for now) the country leader, with 128 corporations on the list—including No. 1 Wal-Mart Stores—reporting $8.6 trillion in revenues.
