Paris Ranks 2nd Among 20 “Cities Of Influence” According To A Survey By Collins International

Paris EUROPLACE welcomes the results of a survey conducted by Colliers International, a leading global commercial real estate company, which ranks Paris 2^nd after London among 20 “cities of influence”, in other words 1^st in the EU27.

“Paris is the leading market when it comes to economic output/orientation, future skills and capacity and affordability/cost,”points out the report, which has just been released.

This analysis is based on factors which fall into four areas, explains Colliers International:

The size/orientation of economic output and the workforce;
The size/skills of the latent and emerging talent pool;
The cost and affordability of the city - as a place to live and save, and in terms of the cost of labour/ total cost of office occupation;
The country risk associated with the market, and the inherent risk/ challenges presented by labour laws.

Arnaud de Bresson, Chief Executive of Paris EUROPLACE, stated: “In a context of Brexit, this confirms Paris major cards for attracting firms which consider rebalancing their activities and relocating in the EU.”
