This paper updates the key data shaping the productivity performance for Scotland. The presentation is organised around the broad research themes of The Productivity Institute and draws comparisons with other UK regions and internationally. The refreshed paper updates its findings within the context of the six capitals framework, including a new look at environmental aspects falling under ‘natural’ capital. Section 3 presents the broad productivity and intraregional trends. Sections 4, 5 and 6 collect evidence on productivity drivers and presents the policy landscape. The last section outlines some of the key issues for Scotland as they emerge from the analysis.
