London Confirms its Top-Dog Position

The latest research from eFinancialcareers.com – the world’s leading online finance recruiting website – confirms the City’s belief that by 2015, London will consolidate its position as the leading global financial services capital of the world.

[ClickPress, Tue Mar 06 2007] The latest research from eFinancialcareers.com – the world’s leading online finance recruiting website – confirms the City’s belief that by 2015, London will consolidate its position as the leading global financial services capital of the world.

Sarah Butcher, editor of eFinancialcareers.com, commented:

“London is the world’s leading international financial centre. It is cosmopolitan, fun and attractive. It has a flexible regulatory framework and its time zone and language make it the location of choice for financiers working with the US, Europe and Asia. The City has every reason to go from strength to strength.”

In a surprising twist, Dubai and Shanghai look to have taken a bite out of the Big Apple. According to the poll, 13.1% believe that the desert city will rise in prominence over the next 10 years, with 9.9% predicting a similar outcome for New York and 9.3% for the up and coming oriental powerhouse of Shanghai.

Sarah Butcher adds:

“Over the past five years London has won a growing proportion of emerging markets business from the likes of Russia, India and China. At the same time, New York has shot itself in the foot with the Sarbanes Oxley Act. The question now, is whether it can recover. Our readers clearly think it can’t.”
