Asia-Pacific cities account for 39 per cent of the top global financial services companies and about 36 per cent of the world’s leading financial centres, Colliers said. Supported by strong labour markets and venture capital activity, cities such as Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong ranked among the region’s top talent hubs.However, New York emerged as the clear leader in the property consultant’s report, scoring 4.6 out of a possible 5, followed by London with a mark of 3.9 and Singapore at 3.6. The overall rankings covered more than 200 global markets and gauged the depth of talent, investment activity and long-term growth prospects.“Boasting the highest concentration of financial services headquarters in the world, it is perhaps not surprising that New York City ranks first in our analysis of top financial services talent centres,” the report said.
