Question
To ask the Scottish Government what the percentage cumulative economic growth in Scotland, in terms of increased total GDP, was for the period from May 2007 to May 2016, and how this compares with the equivalent figure for the UK as a whole.
Answer
Monthly estimates of GDP are experimental statistics which are only available back to 2010. It is not therefore possible to provide estimates of GDP growth from May 2007. The most recent monthly GDP figures, published 23 February 2022, are available at http://www.gov.scot/publications/monthly-gdp-december-2021
