China Financial Center Index (CFCI) has established a competitiveness evaluation system adapted to the development characteristics of Chinese financial centers. The system aims to track and study the development status of Chinese financial centers, in a bid to provide a basis for policy optimization for relevant decision-makers, and offer a watchtower for the society to observe the development of Chinese financial centers. The first CFCI was released in 2009 and has been updated annually since then.

CFCI 16 maintains the four-level assessment structure, which evaluates the performance of the financial industry, the capacity of financial institutions, the scale of the financial market, and the ecology of the financial sector, and features two adjustments. First, indicators related to the performance of the financial industry were updated with 10 additional indicators surrounding technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance.  Additionally, with the inclusion of Xuzhou and Quanzhou, the total number of financial centers assessed in CFCI 16 increased to 38.
