Our debate are a waste of time but I will write a response...
Again:


This is Darnytskyi District - the most high-rise residential area in Europe (over one hundred buildings of 20 to 38 floors). There's a lot of fairly good economy class apartments.


A few of my photos:

Warsaw has some big projects on the go, not to the scale of Moscow but they are quality projects none the less that will contribute some height and density to the core.

- Zlota
- Twarda
- Spire
-....the building that will replace Imlet
to name a few big ones.

The reason why Moscow and Warsaw have such a big boom in skyscraper development is b/c the two cities are financial hubs in the region, and in Warsaw well...it's not Prague or Krakow with preserved architecture.

^^ At the end of the day, Warsaw has a very good skyline for Europe, the reason Moscow is going ahead is because the city and the country of which it is the capital are much larger, and are growing at a very rapid pace... I have little doubt Moscow will have the best one in Europe, not only EE, in a few years time.

Warsaw as the financial hub of the Central and Eastern Europe region – the WSE against the backdrop of other European bourses

WSE – the largest stock market in the Central and Eastern Europe

The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) is starting the year 2012 as the largest financial hub of the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region – the newest data from the Federation of European Stock Exchanges (FESE) indicate that the market capitalization of the WSE amounted to EUR 108.6 bln at the end of November and thus was considerably higher than the capitalization of the stock exchanges in Vienna (EUR 64.3 bln), Prague (EUR 29.4 bln) and Athens (EUR 26.0 bln).

Vienna is losing it clout, quickly. Vienna is still living off old 20th century gains. Biggest bourse in Central Europe is not Vienna, but Warsaw. The WSE has more capitalization, and IPOs than Vienna. In terms of IPOs Warsaw is second to London. Vienna is resting on its lorals but its outpaced by Warsaw. We will see what will happen when the WSE is privatized and partners up with NYSE, LSE or the Deutsche Bourse.

According to wikipedia , in 2011, at a pop. of 8,000,000, Austria had a GDP of about $351 billion, while Poland with 38,000,000 had a GDP of $766 billion, so lets stay cool and relax.

it could be by the very fact of Poland being easily the largest country in Central Europe, but it doesn't necessarily contradict the fact that Vienna is more important for Czech Republic, Hungary or Slovenia. especially given that their stock exchanges are federalised...

The CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG) had a busy and successful year 2010. In January 2010, the four stock exchanges of Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana and Prague were integrated as subsidiaries into the holding company, CEESEG AG

To make things clearer, I will give you an example: here, in Romania, many austrian companies bought large romanian companies ( Raiffeisen, Volksbank, Strabag, OMV and others) while polish companies have a very poor position in our market, the same is for Czechs, Slovakia, Hungary and other countries from the Balkans.

First you guys need to pinpoint what the conversation is about:

Definition of 'Financial Hub'
A city or region that is considered to be a focal point for the financial services industry. Financial hubs are home to major banks and/or stock exchanges as well as other financial services. They often develop in areas due to externalities, as well as supportive government regulation.

Investopedia explains 'Financial Hub'
New York's Wall Street is a highly recognizable international financial hub, as it is the location of the New York Stock Exchange and has long been established as a leader in the financial industry. Other cities, such as London and Hong Kong, are also huge financial hubs. A financial hub can improve a company's economy by drawing in more financial transactions and more business.

source (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-hub.asp#axzz1rlJ7qUzW)

..and then find a proper thread for that :okay:

Gatsby
April 11th, 2012, 10:13 PM
OK, at the peril of being called a traitor;), does Warsaw have any major bank headquarters; or rather mostly subsidiaries of banks based elsewhere? do they provide any services Czechs or Hungarians would find unavailable in Vienna? I don't think so.

I think Mannesmann is right, for Warsaw to be Central European main financial hub, either major banks would need to be based there or big Polish companies would need to be significantly more involved in other CE economies. as of now neither is the case. not to mention the fact Venna is simply better positioned geographically....

uunxx
April 12th, 2012, 01:51 AM
There's just no main financial hub for Central Europe, it's so simple. While Austria has significant influence in some of countries of the region it's marginal in Poland for example. You can't be a dominant financial hub when you don't matter in the biggest country of your region (BTW is Vienna really Central European in economical therms?). Anyway Vienna may be the biggest hub while Warsaw is aspiring, neither of them is dominant.

Come on people, Germany has more influence in Poland, that's why Austria has a lesser one.
Warsaw is still dreaming to become the queen on the region (in terms of businesses) but I think Moscow will get more influence even in the former countries of the Soviet Union who now are in the EU.

Definition of 'Financial Hub'
A city or region that is considered to be a focal point for the financial services industry. Financial hubs are home to major banks and/or stock exchanges as well as other financial services. They often develop in areas due to externalities, as well as supportive government regulation.

Investopedia explains 'Financial Hub'
New York's Wall Street is a highly recognizable international financial hub, as it is the location of the New York Stock Exchange and has long been established as a leader in the financial industry. Other cities, such as London and Hong Kong, are also huge financial hubs. A financial hub can improve a company's economy by drawing in more financial transactions and more business.

..and then find a proper thread for that :okay:

This is an opinion forum, just look in the region, you can see countries like Germany that will dominate the European financial affairs in the next 1000 years, so it can be Warsaw regional financial capital, at most, it can be local (In Poland).

^^ Agree more-less but what is your point exactly? What Germany has to do with Vienna-Warsaw competition in becoming bigger financial hub (which Warsaw imho already is)?

I like things to be said correctly: someone here said that Warsaw is a regional financial hub.
This seemed a big lie if we take a look to the neighborhoods of Poland ( financial hub for Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, come on). All Polish should recognize the supremacy of Moscow, stop dreaming, period.

Come on people, Germany has more influence in Poland, that's why Austria has a lesser one.
Warsaw is still dreaming to become the queen on the region (in terms of businesses) but I think Moscow will get more influence even in the former countries of the Soviet Union who now are in the EU.

Sure Germany is biggest trade partner of Poland, it's not a secret, but we've discussed supposed supremacy of Vienna over Warsaw. A little curiosity at this point - Warsaw has bigger GDP per capita than Berlin.
Moscow is and will be a big financial hub - of CIS countries but not of Central Europe, these are very different spheres, too many political and economical barriers. Moscow is not a competition for Warsaw and vice versa.

For some reason you've decided to show us nominal amount instead of Puchasing Power Parity:
45. Poland 20.136
52. Russia 16.687

in Poland isn't present so many millionaires and billionaires as in Russia, Poland very small, silly to speak about contrast between rich and poor in comparison with Russia. you have no such cold and remote lands

You don't have to go to Siberia to see large contrasts. Actually simple presence of millionaires and billionaires makes poor people poorer because they cause prices to raise, especially when they have flamboyant life style. Russia is an expensive country which makes life of common people harder.
