The new government in the U.K. and the Senedd Cymru will provide new business opportunities in South West Wales, in terms of improved trade relations, prioritisation of the Welsh economy and focussed promotion of available contracts.
Spreading Prosperity…
“On behalf of FSB Wales, I congratulate Baroness Eluned Morgan MS on her election as the Senedd’s nominee to become the new First Minister of Wales and Wales’ first female leader.
Ben Francis, FSB Wales Policy Chair writes
“The First Minister Designate’s clear focus on prioritising the Welsh economy in order to spread prosperity is a positive signal that will be welcomed by businesses.
“At a time of slowly-improving economic conditions, the First Minister Designate has an opportunity to re-set the Welsh Government's relationship with businesses by establishing a New Deal for Business Group.
This is an opportunity to win back confidence and to show a commitment to working in partnership on the mission of rebuilding the Welsh economy and aligning Welsh Government’s available levers to this goal.”1
New Trade Opportunities for Occupiers
The refreshed Senedd Cymru cabinet member for the Economy, Energy and the Welsh language, Jeremy Miles, recently published a paper in July 2024, The Welsh Government’s new approach to Trade Policy.
Hot off the press this paper encourages stronger trade relations with the U.K. to facilitate the trade and business agreements the new governments in U.K. and Wales can provide.
A strong trading nation, Wales’ economy has always relied on trade to grow the economy and is keen to capitalise on new avenues.2
