Financial Times quotes researcher on bank losses

Professor Ross Brown from the Department of Management has undertaken research on the Scottish National Investment Bank (SNIB). The work has led to him being quoted in the Financial Times in September 2023, in a piece titled Scotland recycling failure doubles National Investment Bank losses.

The SNIB is a major policy initiative designed to stimulate high growth firms in Scotland. Its objectives are mission-oriented, with a remit for investment in firms to help stimulate environmental, inclusion and demographic goals.  

Professor Brown has been critical of the focus and clarity of the bank's mission-oriented remit.
