Question
To ask the Scottish Government on what date it last met or corresponded with the World Economic Forum, and what topics were discussed.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not keep a central record of meetings or correspondence [with all organisations or individuals]. The records that we do hold indicate that a call was held between the World Economic Forum and SG officials on 29 November 2017, to discuss the development of an inclusive growth monitoring framework.
The World Economic Forum has highlighted a wide range of Scottish Government policy initiatives in recent years, including work to tackle the climate emergency and to address period poverty.
