The GFCI, which is updated onceevery six months, is now a bellwether that is closely followed by the global financial community. It hasbeen playing an increasingly significant role in areas such as setting trends for global financial centersand deepening their partnerships across continents. As the findings of GFCI show, the pandemic has caused no change to the ongoing shift of gravity inglobal financial activities from North America and Europe to Asia. Financial centers in China continue torise with a steep ascent in international influence. Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen are nowamong top ten global financial centers. I also note with joy that Shenzhen has gone up to the 9thposition in the global ranking, marking another year of upward movement and demonstrating thetireless and fruitful endeavours of its financial industry. While the world’s economy is confronted with multiple challenges, closer international cooperationand collaboration is essential. Innovative development and international cooperation amonginternational financial centers are an important hedge against the economic risks on a global scale. As apacesetter in China’s financial reform and opening-up, Shenzhen attaches great importance toinnovations in FinTech, sustainable finance and other cutting-edge fields across the globe. The goal is tomake the city a financial hub for innovative industries, a global FinTech center, a global center forsustainable finance and an international wealth management center by focusing on buildingecosystems, enriching application scenarios and encouraging financial institutions to introduceinnovative tools, products and services. As a Chinse saying goes, ninety miles is but half of a hundred miles journey. Shenzhen, therefore, willcontinue to deepen financial reform and opening up, and drive financial center development as itsmajor urban development strategy. It will accelerate the cultivation of a world-leading financial andbusiness environment and provide global financial institutions and investors with broader access tomarkets and unprecedented possibilities.

Thenumber of financial centres in the main index has remained at 119. There are nine associate centresawaiting potential inclusion in the main index. Among the top 40 centres, three centres rose 10 or more rank places and one fell more than 10places. All but one centre in the top 40 increased their rating in the index, and only 11 of the total119 centres fell in the ratings. Overall the average rating of centres in the index improved 4.83% from GFCI 31, regaining theaverage ratings last recorded in GFCI 27 in March 2020. This suggests that there is confidence infinancial centres themselves, even against a background of the Russian war in Ukraine, economic andenergy instability, and inflationary pressures.
