The city of
Barcelona is doing
efforts to counteract the economic crisis and is
improving the scores on
business opportunities, on
foreign investment projects and on
export perspectives. According to a study released by the
Observatori de Barcelona, where 28 indicators related to six different areas (business, knowledge, tourism, sustainability and quality of life, prices and costs, and work market and formation) were analyzed,
Barcelona is currently the fifth best european city for business, right after
London,
Paris,
Frankfurt and
Brussels. The results of this study were presented by the
first deputy mayor of the city of
Barcelona,
Jordi William Carnes, and by the president of the
Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, Miquel Valls. Other results from the same study placed
Barcelona in high positions in other rankings, such as
#6 in foreign investment projects,
#4 in export perspectives,

#18 in scientific production,
#10 in number of airport passengers and
