Culture Counts’ Director, Kathryn Welch, will be a guest speaker at this event, which is organised independently by the David Hume Institute.


Join us to hear the latest economic insights from the quarterly survey of over 2000 people in Scotland. Scott Edgar, Senior Research Manager at the Diffley Partnership, will present the latest findings which track economic confidence and buying intentions over time, as well as helping us to understand and monitor economic attitudes and public opinion.

The insights will be from new data, that will be collected in the first week of February 2025.

Following Scott we will hear reflections on the new data from Gary Gillespie, Chief Economist for the Scottish Government and Kathryn Welch, Interim Director of Culture Counts.

The event is kindly hosted by The Phoenix Group.
