SCOTTISH Greens co-leader Lorna Slater has fully backed the SNP’s approach to having a new currency after independence, saying a “carefully managed way” is the right stance.
Speaking ahead of the publication of a new independence paper on the economy, the MSP said currency transitions have historically been successful when it is done “at the right time”.
Ahead of the 2014 vote, the Scottish Greens backed the introduction of a separate currency for Scotland under independence, while the SNP supported continuing to use sterling in a currency union with the UK.
