The 29th edition of the index, produced in partnership with the China Development Institute in Shenzhen, was launched on 17 March 2021 through a webinar organised between London and Hong Kong, with the support of the Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council. At the webinar we heard from colleagues in Hong Kong about latest developments, presented the results of GFCI 29 and the progress of financial centres, and heard about the development of Chinese financial centres more widely.
