Public Audit Committee
National Strategy for Economic Transformation
Background
On 8 February 2024, the Auditor General for Scotland published the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.
The report says:
"Under the Fiscal Framework, Scottish public finances are now more closely linked to how Scotland’s economy performs relative to the rest of the UK. This makes it all the more important for the Scottish Government to achieve the economic performance ambitions in its National Strategy for Economic Transformation (NSET). If the Scottish Government does not achieve improved economic performance, there will be further pressure on Scotland’s public finances".
