How many banks are left in China?
The closure of 670 banks in 2025, about a quarter of all banks, is a significant number. However, China started with thousands of lenders, so many still remain. This move drastically reduces the number of smaller, often less regulated, institutions, leaving a more concentrated banking sector.
