The Global Financial Centres Index 14 came out recently, and I am going to run it through my "system". I take the previous list, and cities can move up or down 5 spots, and up to 5 cities added or dropped. Over time, the better cities should bubble up or down. Previous rankings in parens.
1. London (3)
2. New York (1)
3. Tokyo (2)
4. Seoul (4)
5. San Francisco/San Jose (10)
6. Shanghai (9)
7. Sao Paolo (5)
8. Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe (7)
9. Beijing (8)
10. Los Angeles (6)
11. Chicago (16)
12. Washington (12)
13. Paris (13)
14. Jakarta (14)
15. Buenos Aires (20)
16. Mexico City (11)
17. Moscow (12)
18. Istanbul (21)
19. Hong Kong (24)
20. Guangzhou (15)
21. Taipei (23)
22. Bangkok (25)
23. Mumbai (18)
24. Manila (19)
25. Singapore (30)
26. Zurich (none)
27. Delhi (22)
28. Boston (none)
29. Frankfurt (none)
30. Shenzhen (27)
Rhine-Ruhr, Miami, and Cairo fall off, and replaced by Zurich, Boston, and Frankfurt. I could have added Geneva, but it would be by far the smallest city on the list (pop. 185,000 with 915,000 in the greater area).
