Boost for private sector
14 Apr 2014 04:19 PM
Cabinet Secretary
for Finance John Swinney said:
“We warmly
welcome these figures which indicate Scottish private sector activity expanded
for the 18th consecutive month. Following the January and February PMI, which
both reported growth in output, the March reading suggests that the first
quarter of 2014 ended on a positive note.
“Scotland’s economy is continuing to make
headway, but there is no room for complacency.
“As
Scotland’s Future outlines, with the full fiscal and economic powers of
independence, the Scottish Government could do so much more to strengthen our
economy and create more jobs.”
