Building Blocks of a Financial Centre
Europe Without Borders – Also for Payment Transactions
A unified eurozone for cashless payment transactions has been a reality since 2008 – only that it is not mandatory and is therefore little used. Now SEPA direct debits and transfers are to become obligatory. This will require investment in new infrastructure and present many opportunities. By Michael Steinbach
Financial Centre Data
CFS Financial Center Index at a stable level
The CFS Financial Center Index dropped by only 0.9 point to 107.5 since the last reporting. This demonstrates that business climate in the German financial sector remains stable in the first quarter of 2012. Both the assessment of the performance in the last quarter, as well as the outlook for the current developments indicate a stable situation in all surveyed enterprises.
