Argyll and Bute MSP Michael Russell has said SNP plans to establish a Scottish National Investment Bank will help transform inclusive growthacross Argyll and Bute.
Last month, Finance Secretary Derek Mackay MSP announced plans for an initial investment in the bank of £130 million as part of his draftbudget proposals for 2019/20.
Subject to regulatory and legislative approval, the national investment bank will aim to begin investing in Scottish businesses and communities from 2020 – investing at least £2 billion in its first 10 years.
