OK, I guess that we're talking about Birmingham here. All becomes much clearer!

The city's ability to service major deals is on a par with anywher in the world.

You have three proposed translations, all of which appear to fit and all of which have different meanings! More context would be helpful.

la capacité de repayer les interêts sur des transactions importantes

avec plus de contexte, je pourrais affiner la traduction de "major deal" car cela dépend du contexte, toutefois, "service" se rapporte au repayement des intêrets. par exemple "some of these countries are no longer able to service their massive loans"==>"certains de ces pays ne sont plus capables de repayer les interêts sur leurs emprunts"

now that we have a tiny bit more context, it could/might be formulated as:
____ La capacité de la ville à offrir des contrats ambitieux est aussi grande que n\'importe où dans le monde

disagree Tom Bishop : The whole text can be found on the Internet and this phrase refers to the fact that a wide range of financial and legal service companies are established in the city and can supply world-class services for negotiation of major deals.

agree Tom Bishop : In light of the extra context now provided, I think that this is along the right lines but may need tweaking slightly (for which even more context would be helpful!).
