UAE Still Number One in the Latest Banker Survey

- June 3, 2021

Managing Director of Greencorp Finance & Trust (Greencorp Finance), Colm O’Driscoll is delighted to share the recent news that, once again, the UAE have been confirmed as the world’s number one specialized banking centre.

The established industry publication The Banker magazine recently announced the results of its 2016 survey and, for the eighth consecutive year, the UAE has maintained the top spot in this highly-regarded, global survey. Jersey and Guernsey were ranked second and third respectively in the specialized financial centres list, with the Bahamas and Bermuda closing out the top five places in the survey. The publication is part of the Financial Times Group, a globally recognized and respected finance publication and its IFC rankings are based on data ranging from financial markets indicators to economic potential and business environment factors. The ranking focuses on the level of international business and the value for institutions seeking to expand their international operations.
