In this study, we used the world input-output table (WIOT) to analyze the trade networks among countries for export of global financial services, by applying the social network analysis method. Through these analyses, we have grasped the importance of each country on the network of global financial services and the tightness of the global financial services network. According to the results, we found that the countries that play a central role in trade relations of global financial services with other countries are the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK) and Luxembourg. If we look at the centrality only for Asian countries, China has recently emerged as the most influential country. In addition, the analysis of the importance of countries in the global financial services network, findings revealed that the US, UK, Luxemburg and Switzerland, which had high degree centrality, were of high importance. Among Asian countries, China has emerged as the most important country. However, the importance of Asian countries such as China and Japan is very weak at the global level. The results of this study provides particularly meaningful implications to policy authorities such that these findings provide important basic data in financial center strategy management as well as assist in the contagion efforts during economic and financial crisis.
