JPMorgan has regained its position as the world's largest company, according to the Forbes Global 2000 list, for the first time since 2011, with $180bn in total revenue in the 12 months through March, up 44% from last year. The US is home to 611 of the companies on the list, ahead of China and Hong Kong's 346 companies in second place.

"Global 2000: Ranking the World's Top Companies in 2023"

Walmart has regained its position as the world's largest retailer, surpassing Amazon, which has dropped 30 spots on Forbes' Global 2000 list due to pandemic-related losses and a slowdown in sales. Alibaba remains the third-largest retailer in the world, but has faced challenges due to pandemic shutdowns and cautious Chinese shoppers. Other retailers, such as Bath & Body Works, Best Buy, and H&M, have also dropped in the rankings due to a pullback in discretionary spending. Pinduoduo, a Chinese e-commerce giant, has risen in the rankings after launching in the US.
