The Scottish National Investment Bank (SNIB) should be a lender of first resort that aims to fill the finance gap that exists for particular sectors and groups of the Scottish economy.

More details

To sum up, we consider the Scottish Government’s SNIB initiative as a very important step in moving towards our vision of a Scotland in which a strong economy will be supporting a strong society and vice versa. For this to take place the SNIB’s operation should be inspired by and follow the values and ethos identified above. We are optimistic that the SNIB will not end up being privatised as the UK’s Green Investment Bank; a result that would arguably not be in the best interest of the Scottish people.
