这则报道显示，纽约仍然稳居全球顶级金融中心的宝座，而伦敦紧随其后，并在竞争中稍微迎头赶上。这一结果来自全球金融中心指数的调查，该指数以147个因素为基础，覆盖121个金融中心，数据来源包括世界银行、经合组织和联合国等第三方机构。自2018年9月取代伦敦以来，纽约一直稳坐首位，目前仍然以763分遥不可及。 伦敦在缩小与纽约的差距方面取得了一些进展，得分为744分，这对于担心脱欧后竞争力的伦敦来说可能是一种安慰，尤其是在一些高知名度的英国公司如芯片设计公司Arm Holdings决定在纽约上市之后。然而，新加坡距离伦敦仅有2分，仅领先第四名的香港1分，这表明争夺第二名的竞争正在加剧。 这一指数每六个月由伦敦的智库Z/Yen和中国发展研究院编制一次。调查指出：“美国的金融中心表现出色，前十名中有五个位于美国，反映了美国经济的强劲。”此外，纽约在独立的金融科技排名中仍然保持领先地位，紧随其后的是伦敦，超过了旧金山。 这则报道显示了金融中心之间的竞争激烈，尤其是伦敦面临着来自新加坡和香港的强大挑战。虽然伦敦在逐渐迎头赶上，但保持领先地位的纽约似乎仍然坚不可摧。这反映了全球金融格局的不断演变，需要伦敦采取更多措施来保持其竞争力。这也提醒着伦敦，尽管取得了一些进展，但在后脱欧时代，仍需警惕不断崛起的亚洲金融中心。
New York has easily remained the world's top financial centre with London still second and gaining some ground, but also facing a tougher fight with Singapore and Hong Kong, the Global Financial Centres index showed on Thursday.
New York, in the top spot since deposing London in September 2018, remains well in the lead with 763 points based on surveys of 147 factors covering 121 centres provided by third parties, including the World Bank, OECD, and the United Nations.
London closed the gap with New York slightly, coming in at 744 points, which is likely to trigger relief there given worries over post-Brexit competitiveness after high-profile companies such as UK chip designer Arm Holdings decided to list in New York.
Singapore, however, is now only 2 points behind London at 742, itself only a point ahead of Hong Kong in fourth place, signalling an intensifying battle for the second spot.
The index is compiled every six months by London-based think tank Z/Yen and the China Development Institute.
"U.S. centres performed well, with five U.S. centres in the top 10, reflecting the strength of the U.S. economy," the survey said, adding that New York retained its lead in separate fintech rankings, followed by London which overtook San Francisco.
