Think-tank survey shows other hubs are closing the gap

London

London has retained its place as the world’s most competitive financial centre, ahead of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Financial Times reports.

Citing a twice-annual survey from think-tank Z.Yen, which is due to be released later today, the FT said that while London retains the top spot, other hubs are closing the gap.

Several European cities, including Paris, Zurich and Geneva, saw higher increases in votes than London. Frankfurt broke into the top 10 for the first time.

The Z/Yen survey polled 2,300 finance professionals.
