Just to clarify the meaning of "bank"- it should have substantial "commercial/retail banking" operations (e.g. Amex barely made it into 1999 but since then divested all banking operations). So all mainly investment banks and other financial services companies are excluded. Exchange rates are as of 1999 and 2009 as appropriate. Figures are not inflation-adjusted. Any feedback - let me know. I hope you enjoy!
