Sub-Scotland Economic Statistics Group
Overview
The purpose of the Group is to identify the key strategic statistical information required by all interested parties, and to develop and implement a strategy for prioritising and meeting these needs while minimising, where possible, the burden on data suppliers and maintaining quality fit for purpose. We restarted the group in 2025 and we aim to meet multiple times a year.
Aims and terms:
- consider existing Sub-Scotland economic statistics, in order to identify gaps
- provide advice on prioritising and filling gap areas, and on any additional resource implications
- exchange information on any developmental work that can assist in creating sub-Scotland data
- provide advice on existing methodologies, developmental work and new indicators
- develop, maintain and promote sub-Scotland geographies for the publication of economic, business and labour market statistics
- liaise, and support work of, wider UK groups focussed on economic statistics for sub-UK areas
