Today the Z/Yen Group publishes the eleventh Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 11), part of the Financial Centre Futures programme in Long Finance. The index covers 77 financial centres.
The big changes from GFCI 10 in September 2011 are:
Mark Yeandle, Associate Director of the Z/Yen Group and one of the authors of the GFCI, said: “Frankfurt and Paris are the exception within the Eurozone. Whilst centres like Madrid, Lisbon and Athens continue to struggle, the German and French capitals have climbed in the GFCI. I believe that this is due to the leading roles of their governments in trying to resolve the Euro crisis.”
GFCI 11 uses 26,853 financial centre assessments completed by 1,778 financial services professionals. Since 2007, well over 100,000 assessments from over 6,000 respondents have built the index. GFCI is updated regularly and ratings change as assessments and instrumental factors change.
