Introduction

Glasgow's economy has reinvented itself considerably following the decline of traditional industries such as shipbuilding and engineering. The city has seen years of strategic economic development and some of the UK's most successful regeneration programmes.

New industry has crystallised around new technologies and City Centre financial and business services. Glasgow forms the western part of the Silicon Glen high tech sector of Scotland.

Today Glasgow is one of Europe's top 16 largest financial centres with a growing number of blue chip financial companies establishing significant operations in the city. These include JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, First Data International, Aon, ACE Insurance, Handelsbanken, Clydesdale Bank.

More recent arrivals and expansions include Barclays Wealth, Santander, Tesco Bank, Esure, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, NFU Mutual and Scottish Friendly.

The city is continuing to develop and attract new industry through sustained investment in commercial property, transport provision and communications.

Some of the city's biggest regeneration projects include the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Clyde Gateway, the International Financial Services District and the M74 completion.

Glasgow's financial district lies to the western edge of the city centre. Known officially as the International Financial Services District (IFSD) it has also been nicknamed 'the square kilometre' and 'Wall Street on Clyde.'
