“The array of challenges facing Scotland’s business community is daunting. The legacy of pandemic restrictions, rising energy costs, supply chain delays and increased international uncertainty compete with the need to upskill workers, invest in digital and drive toward net-zero as just some of the urgent priorities that company leaders are tackling in today’s economy.
“Government can either be a help or a hindrance to business leaders tackling these challenges. To help, it needs to have a laser-like focus on the conditions necessary for economic growth and the support businesses need to deliver it.
“That’s why the Scottish government must be fully committed to working constructively with the rest of the UK for the long-term. It was our place in the UK that enabled HM Treasury to support thousands of Scotland’s businesses and workers during the pandemic. Now that we are moving on from Covid restrictions, we need to double down on the shared strength facilitated by Scotland’s place in the United Kingdom.
“We can’t afford to repudiate that strength by holding a distracting and damaging referendum on breaking up the UK. The alternatives to working together are bleak: a hard trade border with England, the loss of the Sterling union, uncertainty over future pension payments and a crippling spending deficit – not to mention the fracturing of relationships built on solid trust.”
