London Economic Development Snapshot

 The Snapshot is a series of six-monthly reports which give an overview of the progress made in delivering the objectives of the Economic Development Strategy (EDS), Sustaining Success.

As well as formally outlining London's progress against each EDS objective, the Snapshot aims to provide a means to check the priorities for London's economic development and to act as a catalyst for economic development activities across London where appropriate.

The latest issue (6) published in January 2008 highlights the approval of the funding package for Crossrail as a significant benefit for London's economy. Amongst other things, Crossrail will improve access to jobs potentially improving London’s employment rate (which the Snapshot highlights as the main priority for London's economic development).
