Rennie responds to pessimistic Chambers of Commerce report

Responding to the Scottish Chambers of Commerce quarterly economic indicator report, Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesperson Willie Rennie said:

"Sluggish growth is the inevitable consequence of a Scottish Government that is flailing around in the dark with no economic plan.

"Will Humza Yousaf hit firms with a tax cut next or a tax rise? No one knows, probably not even him. The result is that firms are put off from investing and everyone suffers.

"We need to step away from economic policy being made on the fly. Scotland needs a serious approach to boosting economic growth, an end to chopping and changing tax policy and a laser like focus on promoting investment in the industries of the future like renewable energy and biotech."
