Ahead of the Programme for Government announcement in September, the CBI has submitted a paper to the Scottish Government, looking at how the Scottish Government can work with industry to help improve economic performance.
We focus on four key areas:
- Decarbonisation
- Infrastructure and connectivity
- Labour market activation and productivity
- Creating a competitive business environment.
Firms across Scotland know that by securing long-term, sustainable growth it will help support life opportunities, fund vital public services, and deliver on the Scottish Government’s priorities.
We will be using this paper as the basis for conversations with our members, as well as Cabinet secretaries, Ministers, and civil servants over the coming months. We will also be using it as the basis for our Budget Submission to the Scottish Government later in the year.
"The First Minister now has two and a half years before the next Scottish Parliament election; it’s essential that a clear economic growth plan is delivered.”
