The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the EY Attractiveness Survey, which states that Scotland’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)'s attractiveness is at a record level; notes that despite a global slowdown, Scotland remains the UK’s top FDI destination outside London, securing 108 projects; believes that this sustained success is underpinned by Scotland's world-class talent, robust infrastructure and pioneering strengths in key sectors, such as digital technology, renewable energy and life sciences; further acknowledges the vital role that these investments play in creating high-quality jobs and driving regional economic growth, and calls for continued collaboration between the Scottish Government and industry to maintain this strong global competitive edge.
