Finans merkezi fon arz ve talebinin karşılaştığı, uluslararası finans merkeziise uluslar arası fon arz ve talebinin karşılaştığı kenttir. Uluslar arası finansalhizmetler pastasından pay alabilmek rekabetçi finans merkezi olmaya bağlıdır.City of London’ın yaptığı araştırmada dünyanın en önemli 10 finans merkezisırasıyla Londra, New York, Singapur, Hong Kong, Zürih, Cenevre, Tokyo,Chicago, Frankfurt ve Sidney olarak belirlenmiştir. MasterCard’ın önemli ticarimerkezler araştırmasında ilk 10 kent sırasıyla Londra, New York, Tokyo,Singapur, Chicago, Hong Kong, Paris, Frankfurt, Seul ve Amsterdam olarakbelirlenmiştir. Bu kentlerden yedi adedi hem finans merkezi ve hem de ticarimerkezdir. MasterCard’ın araştırmasına İstanbul da dahidir. İstanbul 75 kentarasında 64. sırada yer alabilmiştir. Wojcik’in uluslar arası finansal hizmetlerdeülkelerin gelişim düzeyi ile ilgili olarak geliştirdiği ve Türkiye’yi de dahil ettiği üçadet indeks’e göre de Türkiye’nin skorları oldukça düşüktür. İstanbul’un uluslararası finans merkezi olması için çok çaba harcanmalıdır.
