## Resource

Scotland’s new National Council for Economic Growth promises bold change—but history warns against another advisory body with no real power. Past councils were toothless, staff-dependent, and failed to move the needle. To succeed, this one needs teeth: real budget influence, decision-making authority, and a focus on big-picture strategy—not just red tape cuts. Look to the Netherlands for inspiration: a council that actually shapes policy. The real test? Will it drive growth—or just rubber-stamp the status quo?
