Märkte: Frankfurt stürzt im Ranking der Finanzplätze ab – das sind die Gründe
Die deutsche Finanzmetropole fällt im wichtigsten globalen Ranking aus den Top 20. Ein Grund: Bürokratie. Experten zeigen, wie der Standort an die Spitze zurückkehren kann.
Frankfurt, Germany's financial hub, has suffered a decline in its global ranking, slipping to 29th place from the top 20 of the world's most important financial centers, according to the Global Financial Center Index. The index, released twice a year, reflects the city's fall of 14 positions. In western Europe, Frankfurt maintains the ninth spot, behind London, Zurich, Geneva, Luxembourg, Lugano, Paris, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam.
Within the European Union, the German financial metropolis holds the fifth position. The city's loss of significance is concerning, as it may hinder access to large capital for German companies, especially smaller ones that may find it harder to expand into international markets. Professor Hans-Peter Burghof, from the University of Hohenheim, emphasizes that a financial center is part of the economic infrastructure, and its decline can affect the ability of German businesses to secure significant funding.
