Welcome to this summary of the Regional Growth Tracker data for the Scotsman.
00:07
Scottish businesses rounded out 2024 by reporting contracting activity in December,
00:17
in contrast to the previous 11-month run of growth.
00:21
And the same was true when it came to hiring activity and employment.
00:26
Scotland's businesses have been notable in telling us that the labour market was tighter
00:32
and there was more hiring activity going on in Scotland for the majority of last year,
00:37
but initial data for December indicates that that trend may have reversed.
00:44
One bright spot, whilst many other parts of the UK were reporting rising costs and prices,
00:53
Scottish firms reported less change in pressures on that side.
