Edinburgh is a leading international centre for business, finance and education and it is the second most important financial centre in Britain. A new financial district has been created to sustain this position called the Exchange which cost more than £400 million to build.

Approximately 20% of all workers are involved in manufacturing and the biggest sectors are the chemical industry; electrical engineering; paper, printing and publishing; and food and drink. The rest of the workers are in the service industry, finance and administration and with the majority of them working for information technology, tourism and financial companies.
