Understanding Scotland Economy Tracker - August 2024 Insights

Written By David Hume Institute

Past Event: Thursday 29th August 2024

We launched the latest findings from our regular survey, produced by the David Hume Institute and the Diffley Partnership, which helps us to track and understand changes in economic attitudes and public opinion over time.

Scott Edgar, Senior Research Manager of the Diffley Partnership presented the latest findings from the survey, the first to follow the General Election.

We were delighted to be joined by Manira Ahmad, Chief Officer at Public Health Scotland and Lesley Ann Gray, Kantar's Strategic Insight Director for Scotland's Food and Drink Industry who gave their reflections and insights.

The data was collected at the start of August, a month after the General Election, against a backdrop of economic insecurity, mounting concern about public expenditure and a wave of anti-migrant riots. You can read the full report here.

The event was kindly hosted by Brodies LLP.
