Chengdu on GFCI 23 Rankings Again

Chengdu, as the only city in southwest China listed on the GFCI 23, ranked 82nd among all financial centers worldwide, rising from 86th in last edition. By the end of 2017, the added value of the city's financial industry reached RMB160.43 billion, up 8.4% year on year, and accounting for 11.6% of its GDP.

Z/Yen released the first edition of GFCI in March 2007, and established a partnership with the CDI in 2016 to co-produce the GFCI.
