Hong Kong Financial Centre Ranking Holds No. 3 Globally, Tops Asia Pacific

Hong Kong financial centre ranking held steady at third globally and first in Asia-Pacific in the 39th Global Financial Centres Index, the Financial Services Development Council said, citing Z/Yen Group and the China Development Institute.

Hong Kong’s overall score rose to 765, leaving it one point behind London and two points behind New York.

The city also retained first place in the fintech index and ranked top globally in banking, insurance and finance.

FSDC chairman Benjamin Hung said the outcome reflected Hong Kong’s stability, connectivity and resilience, while executive director Rocky Tung said recent listing reforms could support offshore yuan and debt capital market development.

The Hong Kong financial centre ranking underscores the city’s continued strength as a leading regional and global hub.
