Diolch am eich ateb, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n croesawu'r ffocws yn natganiad y Prif Weinidog yr wythnos diwethaf ar godi plant allan o dlodi. Heb os, mae'n un o'r materion pwysicaf i'n Llywodraeth Lafur yng Nghymru fynd i'r afael ag ef. Ond gan nad yw…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Thank you. And one final question from me. Professor Dylan Jones-Evans has suggested that increasing the support to start-ups, which of course create jobs, develop innovation, disrupt markets and support communities, should be a key objective for the…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Thank you. We've taken some other evidence that suggested that the bank isn't big enough and that a lot of its £2 billion-worth of assets are tied up in real estate and aren't active in the Welsh economy. So, could I ask what your view is on the scale of…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Okay. Thank you. And how would you respond to the assertion from FinTech Wales who say that the development bank's 'overall approach is risk averse which stifles innovation and the true potential of Welsh startups'?

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Thank you. That leads me really nicely into my second question, actually, Chair, which I think you've just started answering. So, we took some really interesting evidence from the Business Development Bank of Canada recently, and they told us in quite good…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Good morning, Minister. I've got some questions on the business support landscape quite generally. Firstly, I'd like to ask where you see the development bank's role within that business support landscape, and to what extent you might agree with the FSB's…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
A final question from me, then. The FSB, when they came before the committee, told us that one of the challenges that they perceive for the development bank is that it sits within a massively fragmented landscape of business support, and there is now a need…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
I'm really pleased to see that it's been extended. We referred earlier to the evidence we took from the Business Development Bank of Canada. One of the things that they raised with us is that they believe that businesses receiving advisory services alongside…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Thank you, Rhian, for that clarification. That was really helpful. Can I ask, then, if DBW could set out the relationship that you have with Business Wales, and in particular how the process operates for referring businesses between the two organisations?

Thank you, Chair, and good morning to our panel. I've got some general questions around the business support landscape. Firstly, if I can quote FinTech Wales, they said that the development bank's 'overall approach is risk averse which stifles innovation and…

Ymchwiliad i Fanc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Persbectif byd-eang
Thank you. One final question from me. BDC is required to be financially self-sustaining and offer commercial loans. How does this factor into BDC's appetite for risk?
21 Mawrth 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad i Fanc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Persbectif byd-eang
Thank you. Does BDC appoint representatives to sit on the board of directors of the companies in which it makes equity investments? And if so, how are these directors selected?
