Yr Economi Sylfaenol: Panel 4 - Tai a datgarboneiddio

…doing—then I think it needs to be much more hands off, skunkworks, supporting. We’ve benefited from a foundational economy grant—quite small—to help us develop communities of practice, so that we can bring people with a shared challenge together to find solutions. That actually sounds quite boring…

Dwi’n llwyr gytuno efo rôl posib ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru yn hynny o beth. Roeddech chi’n cyfeirio at yr ochr ariannol. Ar yr ochr tai yn enwedig, roeddwn i’n edrych neithiwr, ac mae’r sector tai cymdeithasol yn derbyn yn agos at £800 miliwn o grantiau o Lywodraeth Cymru, lot ohono fo drwy’r…

…and maintenance operation, which involves a massive amount of people, and the strength of the foundational economy behind that is incredible. But I really feel that it still needs to be led, and the Welsh Government have the opportunity to have that overarching view across that process to enable the…

I think the Welsh Government is key. As Gary said, let's get on with it. In terms of the built environment, it's busy, there's opportunity there, but the SME sector is shrinking, the workforce is shrinking. I agree with Gary that there's great opportunity, but who the hell is going to do the work?…

Diolch yn fawr. And then, more broadly, I wanted to come back to Anthony’s point, initially, and some of the evidence that we're taking at the moment on the Welsh Government's role in this, funding-wise. Is it an interventionist role, or is it a step back and sort of a skunkworks approach, which has…

Os caf i newid tipyn bach o'r frawddeg yna—dwi'n gwybod mai ein brawddeg ni ydy o. Dwi'n meddwl beth rydyn ni eisiau ydy ymrwymiad tymor hir i'r economi sylfaenol. Buaswn i hefyd yn dadlau efallai nad strategaethau rydyn ni eu hangen, ond cynlluniau gweithredu clir efo milestones, efo KPIs clir…

Dwi am ddod yn ôl atat ti, Iwan, yn glou. Rŷch chi wedi galw ar y Llywodraeth i ddatblygu strategaeth hirdymor ar gyfer y foundational economy. Sut fyddai honno yn edrych i chi? Pa sectorau fyddai'n cael eu cynnwys yn honno?

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because I think the foundational economy is incredibly sexy, particularly when you throw in the need for decarbonisation. Because if you look at the foundational sectors, these are also the biggest emitting sectors, and therefore are the sectors that…

I totally agree. Again, from personal experience more than anything else, when we were negotiating the growth deal for north Wales, we were told to focus specifically on key sectors that would achieve that step change when it comes to GDP and gross value added, instead of well-being indicators. Some…

I just want to develop Iwan's point about the high-growth sectors and the fixation on that. It strikes me that part of the problem the foundational economy has—and whether you use the term is irrelevant, I agree—is it's not seen as sexy; it's seen as low productivity, low wage and not something the…

Certainly, there are positives. The 'Prosperity for All' economic strategy of the Government is positive when it comes to the foundational economy. It moves away from the sector-based approach to look more widely at opportunities within the economy. I think the risk that there has been in the past…

We also really need to learn the lessons that people are experiencing and bringing out from this expenditure. Because even if they haven't delivered as well as we would have…
