International Finance Index - Isis Project No 3576
A comprehensive and reliable quantitative macro-financial tool that measures the development of global financial activities.
MARKETING OPPORTUNITY
The significant increase in global mobility of financial firms drives the need for a robust, reliable and comprehensive tool to measure the development of financial activities in different parts of the world. Current surveys lack the means to evaluate competition and monitor the position, size and structure of these financial centres.
THE OXFORD INVENTION
The Oxford Invention proposes a novel method for calculating International Finance Index Series (FIS) that integrates 14 indices to capture basic, but fundamental dimensions of financial activity in different countries such as size, growth, intensity, diversity and internationalisation. These indices are based on reliable data that can be updated on a regular basis, are simpler to interpret and can be visualised in forms of graphs or maps (see figure).
