What is the current situation at the Frankfurt financial centre? How did it perform in recent months? What does the near future look like? And how does the financial centre perform in international comparison?
On this point, the regularly collected data of the two Frankfurt universities provide a lot of information.
Frankfurt Main Finance has – on the basis of the new database "Frankfurt – Partner for Emerging Financial Centres" – developed a comprehensive model of the financial centre for promoting Frankfurt’s financial services worldwide.
The CFS Financial Center Index rose by 2.2 points to 111.1 points--the first improvement of the business climate in the German financial sector since early 2011. Moreover, most of the approx. 400 companies surveyed argue that a European financial transaction tax will lead neither to a stabilization of the financial markets nor to an effective participation of the banks in paying the costs of the financial crisis.
The financial center Frankfurt is a highly attractive location for foreign banks. This is the conclusion drawn from the findings of the current Financial Center Survey carried out by Helaba. The Survey confirms the high degree of internationality of the German financial center and its good prospects of further development in the international competition.
