== Function ==
'''Financial Centres''' are [[installations]] that increase the [[wealth]] generated by the colony they are on.  Each centre adds as much wealth as 1,000,000 citizens.

== Shutting Down (VB6 only) ==
Financial centres can be mass-shutdown via the ''Civilian / Ind Status'' tab of the [[Economics]] screen.  This will immediately free up population for other industries.  Shutting down in this way will require a 6-month warm-up time to restart construction. 

C# has no equivalent mechanic - instead, the usual way to free up population is to move financial centres to another [[colony]], as they require no resources to operate (unlike production facilities) and have no benefits from concentrating several of them together (like the convenience you get from large groups of [[Research Lab]]s in the same place). 

== Misc ==
In C#, financial centres can be moved freely, and take 25,000 tons of cargo space. In VB6, financial centres cannot be moved once constructed.
