What are the most important and appropriate economic outcomes to measure at the sectoral level to signal whether the Industrial Strategy and Sector Plans are on track?

Background

The Industrial Strategy is not a statement of policy at a single point in time, but a live strategy that will evolve and respond to economic, technical, and societal changes over the next decade. Effective ongoing M&E will be essential to learning the lessons from implementation and evolving the strategy in response to delivery progress and relevant developments in the UK and global economy.
