Wales

The economy of Wales has changed considerably over recent years.  The public sector still plays a very important role with an enhanced emphasis on delivering high quality citizen focused services.  The private sector has transformed from its traditional industrial base to one characterised by technology and financial and professional services.  Wales has welcomed major inward investors from Europe, America and the Far East in sectors including electronics, green energy and manufacturing.  The country also continues to take advantage of its natural environment through its growing tourism and agri food industries.

Much progress has been made in regenerating post industrial areas and promoting the development of a knowledge based economy.  It is easy to forget this major transformation in the current economic climate just as it is easy to forget the strides that have been made post devolution to promote Wales on a UK, European and world stage as an exciting economic country with a strong sense of national identity.  It is more important than ever before that Wales harnesses the best available talent locally but also from across the UK and overseas if it is to thrive in the future.
