~ At the Texas Bankers Association's 141st Annual Convention, Governor Greg Abbott proudly declared Texas as the financial capital of America. In a fireside chat with TBA President and CEO Chris Furlow, Governor Abbott highlighted the state's economic success and credited it to the strong presence of banks and financial institutions.

"Texas would not be what it is today without our banks and other financial institutions," stated Governor Abbott. "Think of the massive tidal wave of economic growth we have in our state, and you can see what the promise of the economic future looks like. Growth cannot be accomplished without capital and access to capital, and TBA has been a part of that since the beginning."

The Governor went on to praise Texas' business-friendly climate and favorable regulatory environment, which have contributed to its recognition as the Best State for Business for 21 consecutive years. He also noted that Texas has been named the number one state for economic development for 14 years and is currently leading the nation in job creation.

During the conversation, Governor Abbott emphasized that Texas' position as America's premier destination for business and investment is attracting companies from around the world. He highlighted how financial companies are choosing to develop, redomicile, and expand in Texas, solidifying its status as America's new financial headquarters.
