As an amendment to motion S6M-08604 in the name of Neil Gray (Managing Scotland’s Finances and Working with Business to Drive the Wellbeing Economy), leave out from the first “recognises” to end and insert “is grateful to the Scottish Fiscal Commission (SFC) for its ground-breaking work contained within the recent Fiscal Sustainability Report, which forecasts Scottish economic trends for the next 50 years; notes the concerns cited by the SFC that current tax and spend structures and current models for public services will not deliver the necessary revenue that Scotland requires to address the substantial fiscal deficits, which are forecast to be around 10% each year, and calls on the new Scottish Government to be fully focussed on improving productivity, on widening the tax base and delivering the economic growth that Scotland so desperately needs.”
