The latest Economic Commentary from the University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Institute, sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers, indicates that while the Scottish economy may be continuing to recover from recession, the rate of recovery appears to be slowing even when allowance is made for the difficult weather this winter.
The Commentary also shows that the current political upheaval in the Middle East could have a knock-on effect on the economic recovery of Scotland and the UK when combined with home-grown issues such as worsening inflation and continuing weakness in bank lending.
Professor Brian Ashcroft, Professor of Economics, Strathclyde Business School, gives his latest analysis into the findings, and the full report can be found here.
