About  Financial Services in Northern Ireland

In terms of UK activity, the sector in Northern Ireland (NI) is small. However, it has been growing rapidly over the last decade as the peace plan has created a climate of greater stability and economic optimism. Businesses have been encouraged to expand, invest and locate in NI and this has caused major improvements in the NI economy.

In 2002, 16,679 people were employed in financial services and the industry produced 3.6% of GDP.

Further growth is expected over the next five years and the Skills Council intends to offer robust support to the NI sector during this period.
