The Scottish Budget will deliver progress for Scotland’s economy, Finance Secretary Shona Robison has said.
Ahead of the 2025-26 Scottish Budget being published this afternoon, Ms Robison visited Logan Energy, a leading clean energy technology manufacturer whose products are designed, developed, and manufactured in Scotland.
Ms Robison said:
“This will be a Budget that delivers progress for Scotland, by Scotland – laying the foundations for long-term success.
“We will invest in measures to tackle the climate emergency in a way that maximizes opportunities to create jobs and provide new economic opportunities for businesses and communities.
“Our ambition is for Scotland’s green energy to be central to the decarbonisation of transport and industry at home and abroad, and for our expertise and innovation to be providing climate solutions, like Logan Energy, that are made in Scotland and sold to the world.
“The First Minister has made clear his focus on delivering on people’s priorities – eradicating child poverty, growing the economy, improving public services like our NHS, and tackling the climate emergency.
“Unlike the UK Government’s Budget which treated Scotland like an afterthought, today we will publish a Budget that puts the people of Scotland first.
“We have listened carefully to the needs and priorities of organisations and businesses, and the people of Scotland.
“This is a budget that will deliver for them by building on the positive change we’ve delivered for Scotland, creating more jobs, and putting more money in people’s pockets.”
