                                             TURNED TOWARDS
                                             THE FUTURE
                                             Global cities are attractive and stimulating environ-
                                             ments where top decision-makers, talents and finan-
                                             cers join to produce business and social innovation.
                                             They are a global network of densely connected focal
                                             points, each intensely competing with the other to
                                             define the best economic and political standards.

                                             Global Cities concentrate a disproportionate part of
                                             talents, businesses and capital. They are the places
                                             where most decisions are made, innovations launched,
                                             and people enabled. Global cities are to the world what
                                             cities are to a country. And then there are top global
                                             cities, where everyone expects the world of tomorrow
                                             to be shaped and where, as a result, world-changing
                                             moments actually happen.

                                             The club of top global cities has opened and expanded
                                             far beyond the 20th century happy few. While Paris,
                                             London and New York have successfully reinvented
                                             themselves, and still possess unique brands, competition
                                             among global cities is more open than ever before.

                                             The Global Cities Investment Monitor demonstrates
                                             that Greater Paris is an attractive business player with a
                                             remarkable global image. It is also a unique instrument
                                             for the Greater Paris Investment Agency to advocate
                                             and support world class investments in infrastructure,
                                             architecture, and clusters in Greater Paris, to make
                                             it one of the world’s leading business capitals of the
                                             twenty-first century.

                                                     This was by far the highest percentage among global cities
                                                     and a probable record-breaker. Paris reached the top 3.

                                    2017 : GLOBAL DYNAMICS
                                    Global stability
                                    While 2016 was marked by a strong growth in international greenfield
                                    investments, 2017 witnessed a return to a more stable market.
                                    With -1% the global trend remains neatly above the last decade
                                    yearly average (-3%).

                                    A pivot to… Europe
                                    International investments surged in Europe in 2017. The continent’s
                                    market share rose an unprecedented 7 points, from 36% to 43%, while
                                    the Asia-Pacific region declined from 32% to 27%. It was the third
                                    consecutive rise for Europe, in sharp contrast with the previous years,
                                    when Asia-Pacific had taken the lead. The market shares of the other
                                    regions were comparatively stable. As a result, Europe is way ahead
                                    as both the global destination and source of international greenfield
                                    investments.

                                    A new balance within Europe itself
                                    European global cities all jumped many ranks as a result of the
                                    continental surge, with one major exception: London, which actually
                                    registered fewer projects than the previous year. It is likely that Brexit
                                    began to take a toll on the City’s attractiveness, and a radical reshaping
                                    of Europe’s leadership might be under way. No other European city
                                    experienced a boom comparable to Paris. The gap with London
                                    shrunk by almost two thirds. The catch-up is even more pronounced
                                    regarding strategic investments. Paris emerged as the main destination
                                    for intra-European investments.

                                    Paris: in the top 3 globally, taking a lead in Europe
                                    International investors interviewed consistently indicated that they
                                    viewed the new, enhanced attractiveness of Paris as more than a
                                    temporary conjecture. Supporting their analysis is the marked rise of
                                    Paris regarding almost all major investment criteria. Paris is particularly
                                    distinguished for its infrastructure, human resources, business real
                                    estate, higher education, innovation and start-up ecosystem.

       PARIS: A POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR A TOP
       BRAND AND A MAJOR DESTINATION
       In 2017, international greenfield investments surged 80% in Paris,
       now the third most attractive global city in the world, far ahead of the
       next competitor.
       Is this a game changer for Paris or a temporary spike due to abnormal
       conditions in Europe and elsewhere? Our survey contains a few keys to
       analyze the underlying trend.
       First, the levels of attractiveness perceived by international investors are
       very close to the actual ranking of Paris: third or fourth globally, either
       one considers the city’s global image or a more analytical appreciation of
       the city’s position regarding each investment criterion. Few competitors
       enjoy such a level of consistency between the investors’ opinions and the
       measurable reality.
       Second, the investors’ predictions tend to distinguish Paris as the second-
       best among the cities which will see their attractiveness increase over
       the next three years. If anything, this result reinforces the sense that the
       underlying trend is indeed a favorable one for Paris. Its new-found position
       as a member of the top trio could therefore very well be a lasting one.
       Supporting this analysis are the investors’ perceptions about Paris
       specifically: the investors who think that the attractiveness of Paris will
       improve over the next three years outnumber those who think the opposite
       three to one, an almost complete inversion compared to four years ago.
       The policies of the French government that address the protection of the
       environment, international affairs and business demands are equally likely
       to reinforce the investors’ analysis that Paris is much better placed than
       London and other cities to be the next European leader.

The Monitor measures the number of published international "greenfield"                                        Greenfield investments
investments collected in the fDi Markets database. International greenfield
investments occur when a company launches new activities in a global city. They
built up its economic potential and create jobs. Purely financial investments, like
real estate transactions, privatisations or alliances are not included. Join ventures
are included only when they result in job creation.
The Monitor uses the simplest possible unit: a published investment project, by
contrast with expected job creations or capex, so as to maximize comparability and
minimize interferences from local factors – currency fluctuations, governmental
promotion, etc.)
The Top global cities for international greenfield investments list has been regularly
updated to take account of the significant rebalances in the global economy.
