Toronto is one of three North American cities that are expected to be among the world’s most competitive by 2025. When it comes to economic strength, which includes GDP and GDP growth and is one of the most important indicators of competitiveness, the city is not even projected to be in the top 100. But Toronto makes up for this by being among the eight cities with a perfect score for the projected strength of its financial institutions in 2025. In fact, Moody’s Analytics projects that the number of workers in Toronto’s finance industry will surpass that of finance powerhouse London by 2017. Toronto is also one of just two cities world-wide to receive a perfect score for its social and cultural character, making it an attractive place for workers to relocate.
