Seven years ago, SFI introduced the GFRTCI, a comprehensive index that ranks countries based on their adoption of, compliance with, and enforcement of global financial standards. The 2026 GFRTCI reveals only relatively minor changes compared to last year's edition. The ten top-ranked countries in 2026, including Switzerland, were also in the top ten in 2025. It should be noted that there continues to be significant progress in the adoption of the Basel III standards. At the end of 2025, the vast majority of countries showed an implementation score above 90%, with two countries, Canada and Switzerland, being fully compliant with all 29 standards. In this year's ranking, Switzerland moved up one position to seventh place, behind Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Estonia, Sweden, and Luxembourg. 👀 Read our latest SFI Public Dicussion Note in: English: https://lnkd.in/eHprxqHM French: https://lnkd.in/eu47uz2E German: https://lnkd.in/e3K_n4VA Italian: https://lnkd.in/eMn6DC_g
