Executive Chairman of Z/Yen, Professor Michael Mainelli:

“GFCI 29 ratings have not returned to the levels of 2019, reflecting a welter of instability in international trade, politics, and economics, not least large-scale interventions by central banks and questions about the future treatment of commercial banks, insurers, and payment providers. ‘Building back’ will see major changes to investments and taxation.

GFCI is most active on the Pacific Rim. Only 44 points on a thousand point scale separate the top 10 centres. A four point rise would place Singapore second only to New York. It’s tight at the top, and no time for complacency.”

 

Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council Chairman, Laurence Li :

“ In a global ranking, the relationship among markets is often seen as zero-sum. But the synergy which can be achieved through collaboration is what we intend to highlight further. “
