Aberdeen City Council is hosting the State of the
Cities Conference, for a second year, on Tuesday, 5 November 2019,
9:30-13:30.
Following the success of the inaugural State of the
Cities Conference in November 2018, Aberdeen City Council will host the event
to coincide with the launch of the second independent report by the Economic
Policy Panel on the city and regional economy.
The independent panel is comprised of Professor Graeme
Roy, Director, Fraser of Allander Institute, Dougie Peddle, Chief Economic
Adviser to the States of Jersey, and Hanan Morsy, Lead Economist, Southern and
Eastern Mediterranean for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(EBRD). Their work supports the Council’s annual credit rating by Moody’s,
following our £370m bond issue to contribute towards the financing of the
Council’s capital programme.
Aberdeen City Council is the first authority in
Scotland to issue a bond and to commission an annual report on how the city
economy is performing while and highlighting potential growth in the years
ahead.
