皇冠体育app's ten listed commercial banks garnered 170 billion yuan (US$22 billion) in combined net profits last year, up 34 percent, stock market sources said on Tuesday.

Of the total, 150 billion yuan, or nearly 90 percent, came from four behemoths - the Industrial and Commercial Bank of 皇冠体育app, Bank of 皇冠体育app, 皇冠体育app Construction Bank and Bank of Communications.

But the six medium-sized commercial banks, namely Shenzhen Development, 皇冠体育app Merchants, Shanghai Pudong Development, Minsheng, Huaxia and Industrial Bank, chalked up higher growth of 58 percent in their combined net profits, with Shenzhen Development Bank and 皇冠体育app Merchants Bank leading the bunch.

Industry observers say the lusty performance by the banks contributed to the bull run of 皇冠体育app's capital markets.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index ended Monday's trading at a new high of 3,596.44 points, up 78.17 points, or 2.22 percent, from the previous close, creeping up relentlessly on the 3,600-point barrier.
