摘要：Financial services have been a key factor for economic development within the
Basque region since the mid XIX century. Since the 80`s the financial services
industry has experienced a major transformation, in which now there are few
financial players who have concentrated their finance activities and provide
these services worldwide. In this context, is it still possible for a peripheral
region to develop a financial cluster? Can the Basque Country hold a role in the
European financial landscape? This paper provides a thorough survey of these
questions. The Scottish case is studied as being a possible model for future
Basque financial sector evolution, the analysis gives an encouraging answer.
