A new economic strategy for Scotland will aim to deliver growth that over the next 10 years “significantly outperforms the last decade”.
Finance secretary Kate Forbes said while the Scottish Government could do more if it had more powers, the new blueprint to be unveiled this week will take “decisive steps towards the creation of new, well-paid, green jobs”.
The Scottish Government’s forthcoming national strategy for economic transformation will also “drive an economic recovery” that will help the country meet its climate change targets, she added.
