Financial regulation, transparency, and compliance continue to be major aspects in the analysis of a financial center's reputation and attractiveness. Against this background, SFI has established a comprehensive regulation index over the last three years. The Index is a simple and understandable ranking of the extent to which individual countries adopt, comply with, and enforce a set of global standards. 
 
The updated, 2022 GFRTCI is based on the same framework, index components, and component weights as previous editions, and therefore documents the changes that have taken place since 2020. In this year's index, Switzerland sits in 7th place (1st place in 2020 and 4th place in 2021), behind Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, and France. The United Kingdom suffered the largest decline in its ranking, from 6th place in 2021 to 15th place in 2022.
