Our 'Economic resilience and reconstruction mission' sets out our vision to make Wales an attractive place to live, study, work and invest. An important element of this is improving gross disposable household income per head in Wales by 2035 and committing to set a stretching growth target for 2050.

(Translated)

We support the right of all workers to take industrial action but recognise this can be disruptive for businesses and households across Wales. It is in everyone’s interest in disputes to negotiate fair settlements that protect the lowest paid and most vulnerable workers, while avoiding damage to the wider economy.

I regularly meet with the Minister for Climate Change to discuss climate change and decarbonisation. We are working together closely on policies to help businesses deliver in line with our shared net-zero carbon objectives.
