Warsaw would welcome an influx of financial professionals with open arms, in contrast to many more affluent European cities. I spoke this week to several high-ranking executives at major financial institutions that collectively employ tens of thousands in London. I also spoke to Mark Yeandle, a director of the Z/Yen Group in London and lead author of the Global Financial Centers Index, which ranks cities based on their attractiveness to financial services businesses. Paris is among the most expensive cities in Europe after London, and is a distant 37th on Mercer’s quality of life index. France has strict limits on the ability to fire people, and it ranks just 27th on the World Bank’s list.
