This will help ensure our strategy is aligned to the issues that matter most to people while creating the conditions needed to support sustainable and inclusive growth.<\/p>\n<p>That consultation has now closed and I want to thank all those who took the time to take part and share their views.<\/p>\n<p>The consultation responses will be analysed and distilled into key themes. These themes will help inform the work of the strategy and will help members of the council bring forward a focussed plan of actions, projects and bold ideas that will transform the economy.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming weeks and months the Scottish Government will set out how we will continue to support employers and employees as we recover from the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Our forthcoming Programme for Government will help create the best conditions for employers and employees by supporting sustainable and inclusive growth and creating secure and satisfying jobs which pay a fair wage.<\/p>\n<p>That is the foundation stone of our society \u2013 getting that right will combat poverty, will lead to better health and social outcomes and will generate the public revenue to invest in the best public services. That is why this government is absolutely committed to being pro-prosperity, pro-growth, and pro-business \u2013 a true champion for our job creators.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Kate Forbes, <\/strong><strong>Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Find out more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.scot\/news\/delivering-economic-transformation\/\">Delivering economic transformation &#8211; gov.scot (www.gov.scot)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are absolutely committed to maximising Scotland\u2019s economic potential and we want to work with others to build an economy for everyone.
