New Plaid Cymru Leader Unveils Economic Commission

“Welsh economy must harness our strengths as an industrious nation, rich in natural resources.”

Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood AM has announced the formation of an Economic Commission which will develop the party’s vision for the Welsh Economy over the coming decades.
The Commission will be headed by former Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price and will focus on developing targeted sectors in the Welsh economy that have potential to create significant employment opportunities in the future.
The Commission will be tasked with reporting back to the party regularly over the coming years in order to secure a package of economic measures that will be fit for delivery following the next Welsh General Election in 2016.
Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood AM said:
“Plaid Cymru has shown that as a party we can deliver on our vision.  We have demonstrated the importance of creating the right circumstances to allow business to grow and provide jobs.
“I said I would lead the official proposition as Plaid Cymru leader, and this is the first step in preparing those plans. This Commission will play a key part in building an alternative vision and responding to the biggest question which faces most people in Wales: their and their families’ own economic security.
“Plaid Cymru is the only party focussed on bringing together tailor-made policies in order to transform our economy – creating more jobs and prosperity for the people of our nation.”
Adam Price said:
“The Plaid Cymru Economic Commission will provide an exciting opportunity for us all to take a fresh look at the vast array of possibilities that lay ahead.  My focus will be laying the groundwork for the creation of landmark policies which will enable us as a nation to grow.”
