This site hosts the York and North Yorkshire Economic Assessment.
The Economic Assessment is about setting out our understanding of the current position of the York and North Yorkshire economy, i.e.
-
How the sub region will earn its living in twenty years time and what we will need to do to get there;
-
How we will contribute to the economic recovery over the next few years and identifying what the critical issues are that need to be addressed; and
-
What our opportunities and competitive advantages might be and how they might be taken forward as drivers of change.
The Assessment is set out in a series of themes, with analysis and data presented for each:
