We expect the Panel to report its full findings and recommendations by the end of November. The Panel provided its first stage work to the Scottish Government in September. This covers a wide range of findings and recommendations relating to how Scotland can attract mobile capital to support the just transition to net zero. It includes a recommendation that: “Although it will involve additional costs, Scotland’s profile could be significantly raised in the international capital markets by using existing devolved powers to issue debt. This will provide a motivation for regular engagement by investors and an opportunity to market Scotland’s investment story. It would also allow the development of relationships with providers of debt, a track record and credit rating.”
