Chinabank is the only PH bank in Financial Times' ranking of high growth companies in Asia Pacific

China Banking Corporation (Chinabank) made it to the Financial Times' 2022 ranking of the top 500 high growth companies in the Asia Pacific region—the only bank among the 15 Philippine companies in the comprehensive list.

The Asia-Pacific High-Growth Companies 2022, compiled by British newspaper Financial Times in partnership with research provider Statista, is a list of the 500 companies in the Asia-Pacific region that achieved the highest percentage growth in revenues between 2017 and 2020. One criterion is that the revenue growth must be primarily organic (i.e. "internally" generated).

Chinabank ranked in 495th place with an absolute growth rate of 70% and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5%. The list shows Chinabank’s revenues as US$510.44 million in 2017 and US$883.72 million in 2020. Financial Times converted the revenues into US dollars for better comparability in ranking, using the exchange rates of December 31, 2017 and 2020, respectively.

London-based Financial Times, printed in broadsheet and published digitally, focuses on economics, business issues, and current events. The special report on the Asia-Pacific High-Growth Companies 2022 was published on April 7, 2022.

Chinabank was recently named the Best Bank in the Philippines in 2021, and its investment house subsidiary Chinabank Capital, the Best Bond Adviser (Domestic) for the 6th consecutive year, by regional financial magazine The Asset. Both also won the top awards at the Philippine Dealing System Annual Awards: the Cesar E.A. Virata Best Securities House (Bank category) for Chinabank and the Top Corporate Issue Manager/Arranger (Investment House Category) for Chinabank Capital. The awards were conferred in virtual ceremonies in March 2022.
