;150 THE BANK CAPITALISM OF YOUNG BENGAL
"
While both the Mitsubi~hi ,aIld the Cre9~to Italiano
are bigger by all means than th~ Central Bank of Indi~,
the' Itali~n: institution is smaller'than the japanese i~ capit~l
but al~ost;equal ~ the 'latter in deposits. We may
now take a third big i~;titution from Italy as well as from
Japan. The comparative situation is as follows:
Capital-tum-reserve
Deposits
Banco di }{oriia: Rs. 35,700,000 Rs. 293,000,000
Sumitomo "96,200,000,,, 547.l)QQ,POO
" The Sum,itomo is much 'bigger than the Banco di
Roma both in capital and deposits. And of course both
are much too high for the Central Bank of India.
These comparisons enabl~ us to notice incidentally

category, are concerned. japan and Italy are practically
~t a par. But how do ,they stand ,in comparison with
Germany?
In capital-cum-reserve
Deutsche Bank und Disconto Gesellschaft
=25·6 Central Bank of India
= 4,) Mitsui
= 3·7 Banca Commerciale Italiana
And in deposits
Qeutsche Bank und Disconto Gesellschaft
=56·3 Central Bank of India
= 8·6 Mitsui
'=, 6:5 Banca C9,mmerciale Italiana

~s ~wiideringly big to the biggest japanese and Italian
institutions as these latter appear to the biggest •• Jndian"
