In general, during this period, there was a significant decrease in the relative share of both manufacturing and agriculture in the British economy. In addition, from 1900 to 2000, business and Financial Services show a steady growth trend , which indicates their growing importance. Despite the business and financial sector, its market share was the lowest in the first half of the century-about 10%. However, by 2000, business and financial services had become the dominant sector in the UK, contributing approximately 45% of its revenue.
