The lender’s assets totaled 10.32 trillion yuan by the end of 2014, up 26 percent year-on-year, while its total liabilities stood at 9.64 trillion yuan, according to a report on the bank’s website.

In contrast, profit growth at China’s major banks has been weak as the economy enters a period of slower growth.
