First Minister sets out Programme for Government
A new £500m package of financial support for private sector business investment was announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon today as she set out plans to increase economic growth in her Programme for Government.
The three-year Scottish Growth Scheme will see the Scottish Government unlock investment for the private sector, which is facing increased uncertainty as a result of Brexit. Individual investment guarantees, and some loans, of up to £5 million will be available to small and medium sized firms who would otherwise be unable to grow because of a lack of investment finance.
