After Vienna, Copenhagen, Denmark, stays in second place, and Zurich, Switzerland, moves up to third. Melbourne, Australia, fell from third to fourth place, which is an important change. Calgary, Canada tied with Geneva, Switzerland for fifth place. Cities like Osaka, Japan, and Auckland, New Zealand, are also praised on the list, which puts them in the top ten.
Japan to Launch New Banknotes
Japan will start issuing new banknotes on the 3rd of July next month. Local media reported that it is the world's first use of cutting-edge holography that makes the portraits of historic figures appear to rotate in 3D. This new technology will allow visually impaired people to feel and discern which banknote they are holding.
Tactile marks for the visually impaired will also make them recognisable to touch. By the end of March next year, nearly 7.5 billion new banknotes will have been printed. Existing banknotes will remain valid after the introduction of the new banknotes.
Financial Services Institution Bureau (FSIB) has selected Challa Sreenivasulu Setty as the next chairman of State Bank of India (SBI). Ashwini Tiwari and Vinay Tonse were two other contenders to the post.

FSIB's decision came in consideration of the overall experience of the contenders. "Keeping in view their performance in the interface, their overall experience and the extant parameters, the Bureau recommends Challa Sreenivasulu Setty for the position of Chairman in SBI," said the financial body.
