budgebandit Posté(e) 14 septembre 2017 Partager Posté(e) 14 septembre 2017 If thousands of people perceive Montreal to be on an upswing, why is there any opinion any less valid than the 3 or 4 people that you spoke to? In this case, quantity is more important than quality. Citer Lien vers le commentaire Partager sur d’autres sites More sharing options...

budgebandit Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 Partager Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 That's not what I'm saying at all... The point I'm trying to make is that the perception of the general public is extremely important for the business climate of a city.

gomtl Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 Auteur Partager Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 (modifié) We need to look at this last gfci ranking compared to the previous one in Mach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Financial_Centres_Index Usually there is no significant change to notice over such a short period of time, only 6 months. We would expect major changes to take place over a long period, unless something serious enough happens that will change the global picture. The ranking of all US cities plunged between march and sept. Examples.: March Sept Chicago 7 24 Boston 9 19 SF 6 16 Us cities score much lower in this survey. NYC lost 24 points, but still ranks no 2, as it is such a powerhouse anyways. It is obvious that this survey reflects the fear of upcoming trade wars with the US. The financial centres rely on more than only capital. They must have the right conditions for effective trade. Canadian cities are moving up in the ranking, not because we are on an upswing ( we also lost a few points) but because the US are on a major downswing.

Né entre les rapides Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 Partager Posté(e) 15 septembre 2017 Il y a 6 heures, mont royal a dit : Is this a useless indicator for New York? for London? Useless yes, in the sense that these cities do not derive their strengths from this indicator, or from any other, for this matter. The fundamentals do. It is difficult for me to «believe» that the above fundamentals could be affected in any significant way by the publishing of any such ranking surveys. If they were, we would witness frequent, inordinate shifts in the actual primary locations of the finance industry. Changes in the regulatory environment are far more important.

If it alerts some financial leaders (for which the criteria used are in line with their own) that maybe Montreal should be considered for their relocation/expansion projects, all the better. That survey just show (using those criteria) that Montreal is currently an attractive place to be located (for financial business activities) nothing more, nothing less. Nobody is pretending that Montreal became a financial powerhouse overnight... (but if those indicators keeps improving, maybe we will in 20 years from now ;-) ) Great points made by YUL. I completely agree. If these rankings keep showing that Montreal is a good place to do business, then who knows where we'll be 20 years down the road! 1 Citer Lien vers le commentaire Partager sur d’autres sites More sharing options...

You're starting to sound like andre md What's the point? J'apporte toujours des liens pour appuyer ce que je dit. Je ne me fie pas a 3 personnes pour justifier mes propos. Et je ne me fie pas non plus a MtlIURb qui ne représente pas la majorité de la population. Certains on la très mauvaise habitude de prendre seulement une partie de ce que je dit. Les sondages et enquêtes faut en prendre et en laisser juste a voir les sondages avant le Brexit ils se sont planter. 1 Citer Lien vers le commentaire Partager sur d’autres sites More sharing options...
