  Introduction

                   OECD countries for productivity, equality and sustainability
                   by creating a productive, inclusive and globally competitive
                   economy with a high performing labour market.

  What we will
  deliver in 2018/19
                       There are multiple factors impacting on Scotland’s
                       economic growth including the wide-spread sense of
                       uncertainty and caution triggered by the UK’s decision to
                       leave the European Union.

want to achieve by the end of this financial
year across four delivery themes:

   MORE INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND                   ACCELERATING BUSINESS
     INVESTMENT FOR SCOTLAND                            GROWTH

Close collaboration is essential to achieve

and regional levels to achieve the priorities
set out in this 2018/19 plan and beyond.
