The Financial Services Strategy Group (FSSG) is charged with developing a vision and strategy to support the future success of the financial services sector in Scotland. Building on its earlier work, it has identified three areas around which it will build its strategy, namely:· the need to support firms in Scotland to be at the forefront of technical and market opportunities; · the need to ensure Scotland has in place the infrastructure to sustain, develop and attract a quality workforce, and · above all, the need for closer partnership working between the public and private sectors, allied to a greater clarity of communication, in and beyond Scotland, about the Scottish financial services sector.At its meeting on 14 September, the FSSG discussed a number of specific measures and actions which, taken together, should contribute to the delivery of these aims.
