Top Centres Drop In Global Financial Centres Index Ratings Reflecting Uncertainty Over Trade And Geopolitical Unrest

Date 26/03/2020

GFCI 27 Headlines

New York again headed the rankings in the Global Financial Centres Index 27, launched today by Z/Yen Group in partnership with the China Development Institute (CDI) in London and Seoul.

London retained its second position, and Tokyo jumped into third place, easing out Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai.

GFCI 27 showed a high level of volatility, with 26 centres rising ten or more places in the rankings and 23 falling ten or more places. This may reflect the uncertainty around international trade and the impact of geopolitical and local unrest with a flight to stability; and reflects the importance of sustainable finance, with Western European centres benefitting, and centres with a legacy of brown finance losing ground.
