Financial services for a changing world

For financial services companies looking to expand, Ontario has the people, the technologies and the business environment that can help you grow rapidly – not just in Canada, but around the world.

The World Economic Forum has ranked Canada's banking system as the soundest in the world for four years in a row, and Ontario is home to Canada's primary financial services hub.

It doesn't stop there. The U.K.-based Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) ranks Toronto among the world's top ten international financial centres.

Ontario is an established global leader in financial services with an exceptional talent pool, a cost-efficient business environment and the high-performance ICT services needed to provide secure, seamless, nation-wide and international services. More than 150 languages are spoken in Ontario – and that creates a significant business advantage for companies needing to communicate clearly with networks and customers around the world.

Ontario is taking proactive steps to share its expertise with international stakeholders in the financial services industry. Among those steps? In November 2011, Ontario organized the Toronto Financial Services Day in New York. This special event attracted over 270 financial sector and government leaders from some of North America's most renowned financial institutions. It gave them an opportunity to explore how successful and growing partnerships between financial services companies in the United States and Canada have strengthened businesses on both sides of the border and around the world.
