According to a Chinese regional financial report released by People's Bank of China yesterday (May 25), Guangdong's RMB saving account deposit was nearly two trillion yuan by the end of last year, ranking first in the country.

The report, which doesn't include data from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, shows that Guangdong is followed by Jiangshu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Beijing. The top six account for 45 percent of total national deposit. Statistics show that bank deposit grew quickly in 2005, but most of it still gathered in the developed regions of China. For example, the RMB and foreign currency deposit in eastern regions take up 61 percent of the national total.
