| Scottish Manufactured Exports |
|
Dr Peter Hughes, Chief Executive of Scottish Engineering said:
"Whilst the latest manufactured export figures are disappointing they are not unexpected, particularly in the hard-pressed engineering and metals sector. It is pleasing to note that the food and drink sector has seen some growth, but it is also worth noting that our electrical and instrument engineering sector which incorporates electronics still exceeds the total exports from the entire drinks industry. "Scottish Engineering companies are currently working extremely hard to keep costs under control whilst attempting to retain their highly-valued workforce, who will be vitally important when we eventually emerge from the current session."
