Wales Productivity Forum — Fforwm Cynhyrchiant Cymru

The Welsh economy has a sizeable productivity gap with the UK, and, although the gap has not widened further over the past decade, the long-term slowdown of productivity over the longer term is a major factor of concern. Wales has experienced serious deindustrialisation over the past 50 years from a former legacy of coalmining and metals production, particularly in the south Wales valleys. But today, Wales still benefits from relatively good productivity performance in manufacturing, but weak productivity performance in other sectors, notably services.

Mae gan economi Cymru fwlch cynhyrchiant sylweddol o’i chymharu â gweddill y DU. Er nad yw’r bwlch wedi ehangu ymhellach dros y degawd diwethaf, mae’r ffaith bod cynhyrchiant wedi arafu dros gyfnod hir yn bryder mawr. Mae Cymru wedi bod yn destun dad-ddiwydiannu difrifol dros y 50 mlynedd diwethaf, yn dilyn hanes hir o godi glo a chynhyrchu metel, yn enwedig yng nghymoedd de Cymru. Heddiw, mae cynhyrchiant Cymru’n dal i fod yn weddol dda ym maes gweithgynhyrchu, ond mae’n wan mewn sectorau eraill, yn enwedig y sector gwasanaethau.
