STA Submission to 10 Year National Strategy for Economic Transformation

Chaired by the Economy Secretary, the Advisory Council consists of 17 business leaders, academics and economists who have worked over the summer and early Autumn to put forward bold ideas on how to transform the Scottish economy.

Kate Forbes, Economy Secretary said: “As we emerge from the pandemic, we must work together to seize Scotland’s potential and build an economy for everyone by delivering greater, greener and fairer prosperity.

The pandemic has led to fundamental shifts in sectors such as retail, and changed the way many businesses operate with more online trading and remote working.

We need to build on these innovations and guide our economy to the industries and opportunities of the future.”

Our 10 year National Strategy for Economic Transformation will utilise the expertise of business, trade unions and economists to deliver a focussed plan of actions and projects to help transform our economy and help us reach net zero.”

The STA has submitted its recommendations which you can find here;  the strategy is due to be published in late Autumn.
