SCOTLAND & UK CHAIN-LINKED COMPARISON (2013=100)

We can use a chain-linked comparison to show overall trends, e.g. the chart below shows that Scotland's GDP was impacted less by the initial bite of the 2008 financial crisis but, since around 2011, has struggled to match the UK for overall growth.

Note: A Like for like comparison for these numbers is no longer available. These will not be updated beyond 2016.
