Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI)

After a year of trials, in 2007 the City of London Corporation and Z/Yen Group launched a ranking for financial centres, the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI).  The GFCI is an ‘index of indices’, based on a number of existing rankings, in combination with a regular survey of senior industry figures.  Published every six months, the GFCI is dynamic, tracking the changing perceptions of cities as financial centres on an ongoing basis.

We would be grateful for your opinions on any financial centres with which you are familiar.  Please be assured that answers will be kept confidential.  The survey should take less than five minutes to complete.  If you provide an email address, in return we will send you a copy of the next GFCI report.
