2025 Global Financial Centre Competitiveness Index

This is the first time ever this index is shown to the world. So this is not just the global launch. It's the inaugural global launch of the financial centers competitiveness index. These are the rankings. See in the audience eyes already trying to spot where Abu Dhabi is.

So Abu Dhabi is number [music] 12. clearly in that category of the most dynamic, the part of the rankings where things change in the most interesting way. These indices and having been involved for about 25 years in putting global together global indices, I can tell you that the most important thing to remember is that this is not the Olympics of financial centers. It is not [music] about handing medals saying you are gold, you are silver, you are bronze. It is about action.

It is about enabling financial [music] centers to become better to create more value, to be a more active part of this global engineering of finance. [music]
