    RBS = 126% UK

    Deutsche Bank = 86% Gremany

    BNP Paribus = 104% France

    UBS = 484% Switerland

    ING = 290 % Netherlands

    Unicredit = 89% Italy

    Santander = 132% Spain

    Fortis = 254% Belgium

    Erste Bank = 85% Austria

    Unless it's recently changed, no American bank has 15% of the US GDP amount in total assets.

    2) What are JPM's assets as a percentage of the GDP of New York state? :eek:
    3) What about BAC in California or North Carolina? :confused:

  6. 1) Neato beano ratios! :D
