Cyhoeddwyd y ffigurau heddiw mewn datganiad ysgrifenedig gan Ysgrifennydd yr Economi Ken Skates ynghylch cynnydd a dyfodol Rhaglen Ardaloedd Menter Cymru. Mae'r cyhoeddiad hwn yn cyd\-fynd â chyhoeddi adroddiad blynyddol dangosyddion perfformiad yr Ardaloedd Menter ar gyfer 2016/17\.    


 Cafodd targedau allweddol ar gyfer yr wyth Ardal Fenter yn 2016/17 un ai eu bodloni neu llwyddwyd i ragori arnynt: 

 * Cafodd 1,744 o swyddi eu creu, eu gwarchod neu eu cefnogi;
* Sicrhawyd gwerth £123\.2 miliwn o fuddsoddiad gan y sector cyhoeddus a'r sector preifat;
* Cafodd 159 o fentrau eu cefnogi gan Lywodraeth Cymru;
* Cafodd 7000 m2  o dir ei adfer/ei ddarparu ar gyfer datblygu/cafodd gofod llawr ei greu neu ei adnewyddu.

 Croesawodd Ken Skates y ffigurau allweddol sy'n tystio i lwyddiant y rhaglen dros ei phum mlynedd cyntaf a dywedodd: 

 
> "Mae'r Ardaloedd Menter wedi cyflawni llawer iawn dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf a gwych yw nodi llwyddiannau pob Ardal ers iddynt gael eu sefydlu. Mae pob Ardal yn unigryw ac wedi datblygu mewn modd gwahanol ond mae pob un wedi cyflawni llwyddiannau sylweddol.

>    
> 
> 
>  "Ers sefydlu'r rhaglen ar ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2017 mae wedi cyfrannu at economi Cymru drwy gefnogi dros 10,000 o swyddi, gan gynnig pecyn cystadleuol o fentrau ariannol a mentrau eraill gan gynnwys cymorth ag ardrethi busnes, cymorth wedi'i deilwra ar gyfer sgiliau, cynlluniau prentisiaeth a phrosiectau seilwaith pwrpasol."

 Dywedodd ei fod yn bwysig sicrhau bod rhaglen yr Ardaloedd Menter yn parhau i ysgogi gwelliannau o fewn economi Cymru, ac yn arbennig o ystyried yr ansicrwydd sydd wedi deillio o'r bleidlais i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. 

  Gall Ardaloedd Menter gyfrannu llawer iawn at ymrwymiadau Llywodraeth Cymru, ac yn arbennig y rhai ar gyfer creu swyddi newydd, lleihau biliau ardrethi busnes a chreu prentisiaethau. 

  Pwysleisiodd Mr Skates fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau'n ymrwymedig i'r wyth Ardal Fenter sydd wedi'u lleoli ar draws Cymru a dywedodd: 

 
> "Credaf fod dulliau penodol sy'n cael eu teilwra i anghenion ac amgylchiadau gwahanol ardaloedd lleol yn hollbwysig. Bwriadaf yn awr adolygu'r posibiliadau sydd ynghlwm wrth yr Ardaloedd Menter er mwyn sicrhau y byddant yn parhau i gyflawni datblygiad economaidd ar lefel ranbarthol. Mae'r cyhoeddiad diweddar ynghylch Parc Technoleg ar gyfer Glynebwy yn tystio i'r ymrwymiad hwn."

The figures were announced today in a written statement by Economy Secretary Ken Skates on the progress and future of the Welsh Enterprise Zone Programme which coincides with the publication of the Enterprise Zone key performance indicator annual report for 2016/17\.


Key targets for the eight Enterprise Zones in 2016/17 were all either met or exceeded: 


* 1,744 jobs were created, safeguarded or assisted ;
* £123\.2m of public and private sector investment was secured;
* 159 enterprises were supported by the Welsh Government;
* 7000 m2 of land remediated/made available for development/floor space created or refurbished


The significant five year milestone figures were warmly welcomed by Ken Skates who said:



> “Much has been achieved through the efforts of the Enterprise Zones to date and I have been pleased to note progress in each Zone since inception. Each Zone is unique and is at a different stage of development, yet achievements in each Zone have been significant. 
> 
> 
> “Since its inception to the end of March 2017, the Wales Enterprise Zone programme has contributed to the Welsh economy by supporting more than 10,000 jobs through a competitive package of financial and other incentives including business rates support, tailored skills support, apprenticeship schemes and bespoke infrastructure projects."


He said it was important that the Enterprise Zone programme continued to drive improvement in the Welsh economy particularly with the uncertainty caused by the vote to leave the European Union.


 


Enterprise Zones have much to contribute to the Welsh Government’s commitments, he said, particularly those to create new jobs, reduce business rates bills and create apprenticeships.


Mr Skates emphasised that the Welsh Government remains committed to the eight Enterprise Zones located across Wales and stated:  



> “I place great importance on a place\-based approach which is tailored to local needs and circumstances and I am reviewing the Enterprise Zone offer to ensure that it will continue to deliver against a more regional approach to economic development, for example the recent announcement of a Technology Park for Ebbw Vale signifies this commitment.”
