Commenting on the Programme for Government, Dr Liz Cameron CBE, Chief Executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said: “In a difficult and challenging budgetary environment, the First Minister has taken welcome steps on regulation, planning, investment, and housing. Overall, the statement keeps the economy in focus but will require more urgent action if we are to achieve the growth we desperately need. “To address the budgetary challenge, we need to see a clear plan of how the Scottish and UK Governments intend to work in partnership to support economic growth and business investment which is the only route to fund our public services.” On regulation: “A major drag on growth and investment has been the cumulative impact of regulation and the First Minister has recognised this by committing to ensuring certainty, phasing, and effective implementation. “Real business partnership will be essential to achieving this.” On planning: “We have long called for planning reform which has become one of the most significant barriers to investment. It is right that the Government has listened and is taking active steps to address these blockages, such as the establishment of a new Planning Hub and a further £100 million to support the construction of 2,800, mid-market rent homes. “Industry stands ready to support the government to provide good homes for communities and green projects to support Net Zero.” You can read the full statement via the link below. https://lnkd.in/dRYr9Vee

Responding to the statement by the Finance Secretary Shona Robison MSP, Dr Liz Cameron CBE, Chief Executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said: “The Finance Secretary’s statement underlines the scale of the challenge facing the public finances. Businesses understand that tough decisions must be made, but we also need certainty from the government that growing the economy remains the top priority. “The Finance Secretary is right to initiate reforms and seek efficiencies. As highlighted by Audit Scotland, reform of the public sector is needed to deal with longer-term financial pressures. How these will be implemented will require transparency to ensure businesses are not faced with new additional costs or taxes. “We have been clear about what businesses are asking for: a reduction in the overall taxation burden which is undermining the ability of Scottish business to attract and retain talent; a close look at cutting the mountain of regulation adding costs to business and consumers; a coherent energy strategy which protects jobs and investment. “We do not underestimate the scale of the challenge which is impacting communities across the United Kingdom. That’s why we need to see a clear plan of how the Scottish and UK Governments intend to work in partnership to support economic growth and business investment which is the only route to fund vital public services.” https://lnkd.in/eWvEx_vG
