After slump a financial centre shows good sense (8)

I believe the answer is:

sagacity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'good sense' is the definition.
'sagacity' can be an answer for 'sense' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'good' bit.

'after slump a financial centre' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'slump' becomes 'sag' (I've seen this before).
'financial centre' becomes 'city'.
'sag' next to 'a' is 'saga'.
'saga'+'city'='SAGACITY'

'shows' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sagacity that I've seen before include "of judgments" , "City saga illustrating insight or wisdom" , "Good judgement, wisdom or shrewdness" , "good judgment?" , "showing wisdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
