Total capital amount, or total deposit balances held by all financial institutions, is a way to indicate the performance of economic growth in certain regions or cities.

Shenzhen, the third-richest city in China after Beijing and Shanghai by this measure, saw a surge of high growth in total capital amount during the past six years, according to a report by Chinese financial news outlet Yicai on July 22.

Statistics showed that eight cities in China had seen growth of over 100 percent. Among them, Shenzhen ranked first with a growth rate of 180 percent, followed by Guiyang (158 percent) and Hefei (127 percent).
