SCC’s Scottish Economic Advisory Group brings together business leaders from Scotland’s key sectors to analyse and review Scotland’s economic performance.

The group is informed by economic trends identified in data emerging from the wide-ranging members of local chambers across the country. The Group acts as an important platform to influence, shape and communicate business and economic policies, with the aim of making Scotland an attractive place to do business.

Remit

The Group has four formal meetings a year and also carries out engagement and work between meetings focused on:

• The health of the economy
