Zurich Cantonal Bank (in German: ''Zürcher Kantonalbank'', or ZKB) is the largest cantonal bank and fourth largest bank in Switzerland, as well as the leading financial services provider in the Greater Zurich area, with total assets of over CHF 150 billion.〔(Bank Profile: Zürcher Kantonalbank )〕 ZKB, as an independent, incorporated public-law institution, is wholly owned by the Canton of Zurich. Ultimate supervision of ZKB is the responsibility of the Cantonal Council of Zurich, whose duties are laid down in Zurich's Cantonal Bank Act.〔(Kantonalbankgesetz (''Cantonal Bank Act''), Canton of Zurich (in German) )〕 Under the law, the canton of Zurich bears responsibility for all ZKB's liabilities should the bank's resources prove inadequate. This cantonal guarantee acts as a stabilising force for the financial market as a whole, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. On October 2009, ''Global Finance'' magazine rated ZKB at one of the five safest banks in the world,〔(World’s Safest Banks, Global Finance, October 2009 )〕 on the basis of it being one of only five financial institutions that enjoyed a triple Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Moody's AAA/Aaa rating globally. ==Network== With 103 outlets, ZKB is the largest network of branches in the canton of Zurich. ZKB also maintains a network of international representatives and regional advisory offices in Beijing, Mumbai, Singapore, Panama, and Sao Paulo. ZKB also has a branch in Austria (Salzburg).〔(Bank Profile: Zürcher Kantonalbank Österreich AG )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zurich Cantonal Bank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
