The Global Financial Centres Index 36

The 36th edition of the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 36) was published on 24 September 2024. GFCI 36 provides evaluations of future competitiveness and rankings for 121 financial centres around the world. The GFCI serves as a valuable reference for policy and investment decision-makers.  China Development Institute (CDI) in Shenzhen and Z/Yen Partners in London collaborate in producing the GFCI. The GFCI is updated and published every March and September, and receives considerable attention from the global financial community.  133 financial centres were researched for GFCI 36 of which 121 are in the main index. The GFCI is compiled using 143 instrumental factors. These quantitative measures are provided by third parties including the World Bank,, the OECD, and the United Nations.  The instrumental factors are combined with financial centre assessments provided by respondents to the GFCI online questionnaire. GFCI 36 uses 37,830 assessments from 6,188 respondents.

Z/Yen is the City of London’s leading commercial think-tank, founded in 1994 to promote societal advance through better finance and technology. Z/Yen has built its practice around a core of high- powered project managers, supported by experienced technical specialists so that clients get expertise they need, rather than just resources available.   In March 2007, Z/Yen and the City Of London released the first edition of the GFCI, which continues to provide evaluations of competitiveness and rankings for the major financial centres around the world. We are pleased to present the thirty-fifth edition of the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 35).   In July 2016, Z/Yen and the China Development Institute (CDI) in Shenzhen established a strategic partnership for research into financial centres. We continue our collaboration in producing the GFCI. The GFCI is updated every March and September and receives considerable attention from the global financial community. The index serves as a valuable reference for policy and investment decisions.  The China Development Institute (CDI)is a leading national think-tank that develops solutions to public policy challenges through broad-scope and in-depth research to help advance China’s reform and opening-up to world markets. The CDI has been working on the promotion and development of China’s financial system since its establishment in 1989. Based on rigorous research and objective analysis, CDI is committed to providing innovative and pragmatic reports for governments at different levels in China and corporations at home and abroad.
