1. Inclusive Growth
Dr Gary Gillespie
Chief Economist of the Scottish
Government

2. National Performance Framework
“As a government we recognise that economic
growth is hugely important, but it must be
matched by improvements in our environment,
in people’s quality of life, in the opportunities
available to people and the public services
they have access to. As a government and as a
country, the challenge this new framework
sets us all is to make progress in these areas to
improve wellbeing across Scotland.”
First Minister
NPF launch event, June 2018
’To focus on creating a more successful country
with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish
through increased wellbeing, and sustainable and
inclusive economic growth.’
