Business segments
Industrial Bank describes its activities through corporate banking, retail banking, interbank finance and financial-markets businesses, but its reported financial segments are regional rather than business-line segments. Corporate banking focuses on financing for businesses, including technology, green and inclusive finance and supply-chain services. Retail banking covers personal lending, wealth management and private banking. Interbank finance provides services such as settlement, custody and trading, while financial-markets activities include bond investment, market-making and other fixed-income, currency and commodities products. The bank does not report operating-income shares for these business lines.[9][10][26][27][28]
In its 2024 regional segment breakdown, the head office contributed approximately 37.5% of operating income and Fujian 14.3%. The remaining reported segments were Northeast and other regions (9.4%), Central (9.1%), Western (7.1%), Jiangsu (5.4%), Zhejiang (5.3%), Guangdong (5.0%), Shanghai (3.6%) and Beijing (3.4%). These percentages are calculated from reported segment operating income and should not be interpreted as shares by banking product or customer type.[29][21] [9][10][26][27][28][21][29][29][29][29][29][29][29][29][29][29][29]
