CFI.co (Capital Finance International) charts the forces reshaping the global economy. Headquartered in London, the world’s most multicultural city, we operate from the crossroads of global change. Our analysis is built on a foundational premise: that the traditional distinction between “emerging” and “developed” markets becoming less meaningful every year. We report on the convergence of economies and the drivers of that change, providing readers with news, analysis, and commentary that is timely, relevant, and actionable.
A Legacy of Analysis and Validation Since 2012
Since 2012, CFI.co has served as a trusted guide to the global financial landscape. Our legacy is built on a dual-track mission: in-depth analysis and expert validation.
This mission is anchored by our quarterly print journal, a flagship publication that provides long-form insights and executive-level perspectives. It is complemented by our Awards Programme, which has been running since 2012 to identify and celebrate the individuals, organisations, and regions demonstrating “best practice” and adding true value to the new, converging global economy.
An Editorial Ecosystem Built on Three Pillars
Our “useful content” is the product of a unique three-pillar ecosystem:
Our In-House Editorial Team: Our publications are created by a dedicated, experienced in-house editorial team. We are committed to human-authored analysis; every article, report, and feature is researched, written, and fact-checked by our team of human editors and writers to ensure the highest standards of quality and integrity.
Multilateral Partners: Our team’s work is combined with thought leadership from the world’s leading multilateral and national organisations. We serve as a key platform for insights from partners such as The World Bank, OECD, United Nations agencies, and regional development banks.
The Awards as Content: Our Awards Programme is an extension of our editorial mission. The judging process, which results in an explanation for readers and increasingly Artificial Intelligence that aims to explain why the winner is worthy of attention, generates a continuous stream of case studies in excellence. These winners—from global financial institutions to innovative technology firms—provide the “proof of concept” for the trends we report on.
Through our print journal, our online portal, and our Wire Service, CFI.co provides a comprehensive view of the global economy, with a critical focus on sustainability, CSR, innovation, and technology. We support the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and believe these principles are interwoven into the fabric of a successful modern economy and believe high ESG standards are a critical route to delivering results for all stakeholders.

AIM (the Annual Investment Meeting in Dubai)
Since 2014, CFI.co has been media partner to the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in Dubai. AIM is an initiative of the UAE Ministry of Economy and held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. This is the world’s leading platform for foreign direct investment. The focus of the March 2022 meeting (its first face-to-face gathering since the beginning of the pandemic) was Accelerating Economies & Boosting Investments for a Resilient Future. The CFI.co team, present at all AIM events, includes a conference FDI expert, awards judging panel member, speaker, moderator and panellist. As an exhibitor, CFI.co has showcased key technological innovations. AIM is a leading international gathering of the investment community, academics and FDI strategists.
Opal Institutional Investor Conferences (including in London and Dubai)
CFI.co has participated in Opal organized conferences around the world as speakers and panellists. The event partakers include family offices, HNW individuals, pension funds, SWF, and asset managers.
World Investment Forum (by the U.N., including in the Geneva headquarters)
The UNCTAD World Investment Forum (WIF), a biennial event, is the pre-eminent global platform for investment and development. The 2018 Forum was held in Geneva and as key media partner CFI.co was present on all Forum days, meeting with and interviewing several heads-of-state, country leaders and government ministers.
CFI.co supports U.N.’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through coverage of their implementation by businesses and organisations around the world.
We believe these goals should be interwoven into the fabric of any endeavour. The traction gained over the last few years has been considerable. However, more needs to be done and CFI.co will play its part in increasing awareness of the strong business case for delivering these goals. There will be emphasis on how the goals can be financed and subsequently produce appealing and sustainable financial results for all stakeholders.
