My interpretation


Explanation:
Hopefully, the Agreement will exert positive influence on our service development in Switzerland as a world appealing financial centre.

After reading this sentence 2534 times, here is my interpretation:

1. It is NOT Switzerland that is the "world appealing financial centre". It should be the party concerned here.

2. the Agreement will exert positive influence on our service development in Switzerland as a world appealing financial centre = the Agreement will exert positive influence on the development of our service in Switzerland, and make us a world appealing financial centre.

Gosh, what a freaky sentence! Ask again if you need clarifications.
