Will Boris be in FCI's "Most Influential" list?
Of course he will. As the Mayor of what still is regarded in international indexes as the No 1 international financial services centre, and as someone who takes a continuing interest in the issue of London's financial services competitiveness, Boris is in the list. The fact that the Tories have formed a coalition Government in the UK with the Liberal Democrat Party adds to his influence.
Financial Centres International will contain a major piece of research, 'The FCI 500', the first ever global listing of the 500 Most Influential People in International Financial Centres.
The purpose of this list is illustrative as well as informative. Naturally it is subjective, and reflects our perspective on who and how people are 'influential'. The list nevertheless will reflect a balance between public and private bodies, the new and most important global financial regulatory agencies, both governmental and non governmental. It reflects the key industries and companies and institutions in financial services globally, and, especially it will reflect the drivers and shapers in individual financial centres. It is our plan to include the community of subscribers to the new publication in establishing future editions of the list.
And some more questions about 'The FCI 500'
Who was No 1 on the list for the Prime Minister of Bermuda to meet on his recent visit to Washington to press his case for Bermuda's exemption from more onerous provisions in the Obama administration's assault on tax havens?
Who was described as 'Le joker de Sarkozy' in Le Figaro Magazine, semaine du 10 Octobre 2009?
Who will merit the following description?: 'Perhaps the most high profile technocrat in finance nowadays...... a man who has singular influence on financial centres the world over'
Which French economist said (referring earlier this year to the credit crunch): 'In an economic crisis, it would be fatal to forget everything we know about economics. Though cyclical downturns do occur in the free market - they are due to uncontrolled innovation - this is a defect of the system, not a failure of it. To abandon the free market because it is imperfect would be a dangerous overreaction. After all, state intervention is imperfect, as is human nature itself'
'The FCI 500', the first ever global listing of the 500 Most Influential People in International Financial Centres, will be published in Financial Centres International this Autumn.
