The 10 safest banks in the world

In an issue earlier this year, Global Finance magazine ranked the safest banks in the world, created through an evaluation of their long-term credit ratings.

ICICI Bank was named as India's best among the 'World’s Best Emerging Market Banks 2012 in Asia' by the Global Finance magazine in an issue earlier this year. The magazine also ranked the safest banks in the world. The ranking was created through an evaluation of long-term credit ratings—from Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings—and total assets of the 500 largest banks worldwide. Here are the top 15 safest banks in the world:
