Chapter 6 Finance and Economy

Portfolio Responsibilities

The Finance and Economy portfolio is at the heart of Scottish Government’s determination to build a Net Zero, wellbeing economy. It helps drive and shape our response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring that we protect and create good quality, green jobs in every region of Scotland and support workers to upskill and reskill so that they can prosper in the economy of the future.

The portfolio will help build a strong, vibrant and diverse economy that promotes wellbeing, attracts investment and facilitates the transition to a Net Zero economy. It supports our national digital infrastructure and helps every sector of the economy to increase their digital capacity and capability. It ensures that we tackle the global climate emergency, promote fair work and eradicate child poverty and face up to the challenges that come from Scotland’s exit from the European Union, changing demographics and shifting global circumstances.

The portfolio is responsible for fair work, employability, enterprise, trade and investment and support to businesses across Scotland. It supports Scottish Enterprise, Highland and Islands Enterprise, South of Scotland Enterprise, VisitScotland, Accountant in Bankruptcy and Scottish National Investment Bank. It also has responsibility for City Region and Growth Deals and European Structural Funds.

The portfolio is also responsible for key functions of government around performance, public finances, fiscal policy, taxation, procurement, digital strategy and digital economy and for the funding of Revenue Scotland, Scottish Fiscal Commission, Scottish Futures Trust, Scottish Public Pensions Agency and Registers of Scotland.
