The Global Financial Centres Index 22 1 Financial Centre Futures The Global Financial Centres Index 22 SEPTEMBER 2017 2 The Global Financial Centres Index 22 We are pleased to present the twenty second edition of the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 22). In March 2007, Z/Yen released the first edition of the GFCI, which continues to provide evaluations of competitiveness and rankings for the major financial centres around the world. The China Development Institute (CDI) in Shenzhen and Z/Yen Partners in London continue their collaboration in producing the GFCI. In July 2016, we established a strategic partnership for research into financial centres. The GFCI is updated every March and September and continues to receive considerable attention from the global financial community. The index serves as a valuable reference for policy and investment decisions. The 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 28 years ago. Based on rigorous research and objective analysis, CDI is committed to providing innovative and pragmatic reports for governments at dif-ferent levels in China and corporations at home and abroad. The author of this report, Mark Yeandle, would like to thank Bikash Kharel, Shevangee Gupta, Michael Mainelli, Carol Feng, Peng Yu, and the rest of the GFCI team for their contributions with research, modelling, and ideas.

Well-established centres like New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo have maintained their lead. However, several emerging cities have also been gaining traction and made tremendous strides as new economies and financial centres. The GFCI provides a strategic understanding into the growth and competitiveness of financial centres over time. We are excited that Abu Dhabi is ranked among the top 25 cities this year. This is an endorsement of Abu Dhabi’s initiatives and efforts to enhance its strengths as a financial centre. It also spurs us to continue raising the bar. Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has achieved a substantial increase in its economic and political influence, both on a regional and a global level. With a well-structured and comprehensive diversification economic vision and strategy apace, the Abu Dhabi Government has continuously introduced new initiatives, and progressed steadily towards its goals in developing a sustainable, knowledge-based economy.
