Scotland’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has returned to pre-pandemic levels, as the economy grew by 0.8% in November.
New data from the Scottish Government revealed that GDP was now 0.6% above the level it was at in February 2020, before the coronavirus crisis began.
Finance and Economy Secretary Kate Forbes said this was “fantastic news” but, with some restrictions still in place, she also stressed the ongoing economic recovery “remains fragile”.
