FIDi

FIDI is an acronym with multiple uses. The most prominent for many readers is the Federation Internationale des Déménageurs Internationaux (FIDI), an international association of professional moving companies. FIDI promotes professional standards in international relocation and coordinates cooperation among member firms. It administers the FAIM program, the FIDI Accredited International Movers standard, which provides quality assurance through accreditation, audits, and ongoing compliance requirements for international shippers. Members must meet criteria on governance, insurance, training, and customer service. Through its network, FIDI offers learning resources, a global directory of members, guidelines, and events such as conferences and training sessions.

FiDi, typically styled with capitalization, is a common shorthand for financial district. In urban planning and real estate, FiDi denotes a city’s core business district where banks and financial services are concentrated. These districts usually feature high-rise offices, dense transport, and a daytime work population. The term is widely used in marketing, real estate, and discussions of urban development. Notable examples include Manhattan’s Financial District in New York and the Financial Districts in San Francisco and other major cities.
