Question
Which of the following is a characteristic of a global
financial center? 1) Presence of a large number of financial institutions and services. 2) A narrow focus on a specific financial sector. 3) A significant number of the world's financial transactions take place in these centers.Solution
A global financial centre is defined by the presence of a large number of financial institutions and services. These institutions are responsible for facilitating the flow of capital between investors and borrowers, as well as managing financial risks. They also provide a range of financial services, including banking, insurance, asset management, and securities trading. A global financial centre can be thought of as a hub for financial activity, where a significant portion of the world's financial transactions take place. In contrast, a narrow focus on a specific financial sector is not a defining characteristic of a global financial centre. While some financial centres may be known for their expertise in a particular sector, such as New York's dominance in the global equity markets or London's strength in foreign exchange trading, this is not a requirement for a city to be considered a global financial centre. In fact, many of the world's largest financial centres, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, have diversified financial systems that span a range of sectors.
