• Berikut kutipan penilaian 10 besar :

Centre / pusat	Rank / tingkat	GFCI Rating* /rating GFCI	Overall Assessment / penilaian menyeluruh [1]
London	1	765	Most key success areas are excellent - London is in the top quartile in over 80% of its instrumental factors. Especially strong on people, market access and regulation. The main negative comments concern corporate tax rates, transport infrastructure and operational costs.
New York	2	760	Most areas are very strong - New York is also in the top quartile in over 80% of its instrumental factors. People and market access are particular strengths. Our respondents cited regulation (particularly Sarbanes-Oxley) as the main negative factor.
Hong Kong	3	684	Hong Kong is a thriving regional centre. It performs well in all of the key competitiveness areas, especially in regulation. Headline costs are high but this does not detract from overall competitiveness. Hong Kong is a real contender to become a genuinely global financial centre.
Singapore	4	660	Most areas are very good and banking regulation is often cited as being excellent. It performs well in four of the key competitiveness areas but falls to 9th place on general competitiveness factors alone. Definitely the second Asian centre just behind Hong Kong.
Zurich	5	656	A very strong niche centre. Private banking and asset management provide a focus. Zurich performs well in three of the key competitiveness areas but loses out slightly in people factors and in general competitiveness.
Frankfurt	6	647	Despite a strong banking focus, suffers from inflexible labour laws and skilled staff shortages. Market access, infrastructure and business environment are strong but Frankfurt falls outside the top ten GFCI rankings for people and general competitiveness.
Sydney	7	639	A strong national centre with good regulation, offering a particularly good quality of life. Sydney is strong in four of the key competitiveness areas but falls outside the top ten for people - many financial professionals leave for larger English-speaking centres.
Chicago	8	636	Number two centre in the US. Hampered by the same regulatory regime as New York. It scores highly for people but is let down by its infrastructure and market access rankings. Unlikely to overtake New York, it remains a powerful regional and specialist centre.
Tokyo	9	632	Does not fare well in terms of regulation and business environment, but the size of the Japanese economy means Tokyo has good liquidity. It fares poorly on people but has good infrastructure and market access.
Geneva	10	628	A strong niche centre similar to Zurich. Private banking and asset management continue to thrive. Geneva is strong in business environment and general competitiveness but let down by infrastructure.
