The remaining five cases are economic crimes involving an aggregated amount of 26.79 million yuan (US$3.24 million). ICBC avoided the most losses by preventing 14 cases worth 313.92 million yuan (US$37.96 million). BOC ranked second with 34 cases whose aggregated amount was 124.17 million yuan (US$15.01 million).
