00:00Welcome to my summary of the Royal Bank of Scotland's growth tracker for the
00:04Scotsman. In October businesses told us that they continued to grow which given
00:12all the uncertainties ahead of the budget and various elections is in itself
00:17an impressive result. They also said that employment continued to rise and albeit
00:25a slightly more modest level in line with the direction that many other
00:30parts of the UK have taken. And finally prices pressures were reported to be
00:36somewhat on the rise but that was still at a level which was much more subdued
00:43than the recent past.
