A new report has suggested that business investment in Scotland has lagged for the majority of the past decade, warning of the detrimental impact this could have on productivity and longer-term economic growth.
The Scottish business survey, compiled by the Fraser of Allander Institute and produced in partnership with Addleshaw Goddard, has marked 100 of these monitors by publishing analysis of the past 25 years of business in Scotland, highlighting how Scottish firms have coped with significant changes in the economic landscape.
The latest findings show that business sentiment fell to a 25-year low at the start of the pandemic in 2020, significantly lower than that felt during the 2007/08 global financial crisis.
