The Global Financial Centres Index 8
GFCI 8 was published in September 2010 as part of the Financial Centre Futures publications (press release).
GFCI 8 is the first publication to come out under the new sponsors of the Financial Centre Futures programme, the Qatar Financial Centre Authority. The Business Environment is still viewed as the key area of competitiveness – it is now mentioned in responses far more often than People or Infrastructure. One of the themes that emerges from GFCI 8 responses is the need for predictability and stability of regulation and taxation. When asked about areas of concern, business professionals state that uncertainty about regulation and tax levels is the issue that worries them the most.
