Delivering Economic Transformation

09 July 2021 at 16:21:45

An ambitious 10 year National Strategy will drive Scotland's economic transformation as the country recovers from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and transitions to a net zero economy.

Working to unleash entrepreneurial potential and grow Scotland's competitive business base, this strategy will prioritise investment in the industries of the future and deliver new, good and green jobs.

Business leaders, academics and economists have been appointed to a new Advisory Council to help shape this strategy, which is expected to publish late autumn. Drawing on their extensive experience and contacts, members will use their insight to bring forward bold ideas that will transform the economy.

People across Scotland are also being encouraged to share their views on how the country can work together to deliver greater, greener and fairer prosperity.

Members of the public and stakeholders are invited to share their views, suggestions and opinions on the development of the National Strategy For Economic Transformation over the next eight weeks. Responses should be emailed to EconomyCovid-19StakeholderUpdatesMailbox@gov.scot by 27 August.

This establishment of this new Advisory Council marks the end of the existing Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), with many members continuing to advise the Scottish Government.
