Global Financial Centres Index
Ranking of the competitiveness of financial centres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) ranks the competitiveness of financial centres based on over 29,000 assessments from an online questionnaire and over 100 indices from organisations such as the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Economist Intelligence Unit.[1] It was first published in March 2007. It has been jointly published twice per year by the London-based think tank Z/Yen and the China Development Institute since 2015.[2] It is widely quoted as a top source for ranking financial centres.[3][4][5]
