The real estate sector is a major part of the economy, however there are fears that property prices in developed urban areas are becoming too high for most people due to the large demand and the fact that middle and upper class people tend to invest substantially in second and third homes for rent to urban immigrants. The province is home to large and medium sized regional banks and a couple national banks, as well as insurance and investment management companies giving rise to a substantial financial services sector.
The province is also home to retail especially high end shopping for luxury goods, tourism especially to the natural vistas, bustling cities and historic buildings and ruins, and telecommunications. The province is a net energy importer from the other neighbouring provinces and despite holding deposits of fuels and metals, imports most of its mineral resource requirements from other provinces. Nevertheless, the province also has some of the largest solar power, wind power and hydroelectric power projects in the world and is a major user of the extreme voltage pylons that carry electric power across incredible distances.
