Hong Kong SAR overtakes the United States and the United Kingdom to top the World Economic Forum's fourth annual Financial Development Report. As the first Asian financial centre to achieve this rank, Hong Kong's position was bolstered by strong scores in non-banking financial services such as IPO activity and insurance.
Although it fell one spot to 2nd place, the United States' overall score remains almost unchanged compared to last year. While financial stability continues to be a concern, the US was able to offset this weakness with strong financial intermediation results.
