The Scottish Government’s new 10-year National Economic Strategy is estimated to grow the economy by nearly 5% by 2032.
Modelling within the documentation suggests that as long as all the programmes are delivered, GDP would grow by £8bn more than without the strategy.
The plans revealed by Finance Secretary Kate Forbes yesterday stated that if it did indeed increase Scotland’s productivity to match that of the OECD top quartile, annual wages could rise by almost £3,850 - or 10% higher than now.
