“Cities: Skylines – Financial Districts introduces an investment feature and over 100 assets to the game, allowing players to boost the economy of their cities using new buildings, services, and specialization. Players can invest in industries like healthcare, mining, and agriculture to meet their citizens’ needs.

• Investments: Invest your money wisely and improve the lives of your citizens. Many sectors await your support such as deathcare, healthcare, oil, ore, farming, generic industry, and logistics. Keep track of your investments with the new stock trading tab.
• Stock Exchange: Level up your investment funds with the stock exchange. This new building also unlocks the tax income bonus for office zone buildings in its area.
• Bank Building: Money, money, money! Banks add a new service to your city and improve its safety thanks to their transport vans that, while collecting cash from commercial zone buildings, decrease the criminality rate in the area.
• Financial District Specialization: Unlock a new district for office zones when you reach the “Big Town” milestone.  Financial Districts features a new visual style, and generate higher taxes than basic office zones but decrease happiness. The tax income bonus increases if a stock exchange is nearby.”
