The Scottish Government’s Economic Strategy

The Scottish Government’s Economic Strategy sets out the short and long term targets in relation to economic growth. Implementation of the strategy is being driven across the public sector and supported by the new arrangements within the Scottish Government to provide a clear focus on delivery of the Purpose targets.

The Scottish Government has introduced a programme of economic recovery to boost Scotland's economy, focusing all our resources on:

• protecting households and businesses in the current economic difficulties;
• building on our existing economic successes; 
• making sure that Scotland is well positioned to take full advantage of the economic recovery when it comes.

The six points of the economic recovery programme are designed to form an integrated framework of action, addressing different aspects of the downturn by using all the levers available to the Scottish Government.
