It is quite easy to find information that supports Sydney as a global business city.
Australia is the 11th largest economy in the world and Sydney its largest, most international city and the economic capital. Set on Port Jackson Harbour, the city has a long history of trade, commerce and finance.
Many multinationals have their Asian-Pacific headquarters in the city, including Price Waterhouse Coopers, Compuserve and BT. Others such as IBM, Coca-Cola and Unilever have offices here. Taken from here
Sydney is often included along with other noted business cites such as singapore.
Sydney is attractive for its language diversity, and Morgan Stanley has located some of its back-office operations there. Tokyo and Hong Kong are both a bit too expensive for such operations
it is becoming increasingly common for Chinese companies to raise money not just on the Hong Kong market, but also in other markets such as Sydney or Singapore.

These foreign banks benefit from Sydney's time zone advantage, spanning the close of business in the United States and the opening of the European trading day.
