the banking, finance and insurance sector has become the most valuable sector within the economy. And because of this, Bournemouth continues to keep its position as one of the most prestigious business centres in the United Kingdom. The emphasis is on high quality service-sector employment, reaping the benefits of a skilled local workforce combined with low wage-rates relative to national levels. This growing diversity and increased economic strength is actively promoted by Bournemouth Borough Council, who are playing a fundamental role in the continued success of the local economy.
