English: For every list of so-called poor investments, we can produce a list of successful investments, investments in businesses like Aston Martin Lagonda, who are choosing to make Wales their home of electrification; of businesses like INEOS Automotive, who we've secured very recently in the face of fierce competition from around the world; businesses like Airbus, who we are helping to secure the future of the Wing of Tomorrow programme for. I think it's important to say that we're often accused of being risk averse in Welsh Government. We are equally accused of having too high a risk appetite. Having the balance right is incredibly difficult to achieve in the eyes and minds of every single person. Many of the investments that the Member has outlined and could outline are investments in the past that predate the economic action plan, and specifically the economic contract, which must be signed by businesses seeking our financial resource. And within the economic contract, they have to clearly demonstrate how they have growth potential, not just themselves but also for the supply chain; how they're promoting fair work; how they're leading to decarbonise Wales and their own footprint; and also how they're contributing to the improvements in health and mental health within the workforce. This is an important development over the past 18 months, which is intended not just to drive productivity, but also to drive inclusive growth, and that is something that we're incredibly proud of. In addition, all evidence now shows that support for businesses from Business Wales has led to higher survival rates than amongst businesses that do not have Business Wales support, and, as a consequence of years of strategic investment, we now have near-record-high employment rates, record-low inactivity rates, more businesses in existence than ever before in Wales, a higher birth rate here in Wales than the UK average, and crucially important, we now have opportunities emerging right across Wales for businesses to start up through that support that Business Wales offers.
Welsh: Am bob rhestr o fuddsoddiadau gwael honedig, gallwn gynhyrchu rhestr o fuddsoddiadau llwyddiannus, buddsoddiadau mewn busnesau fel Aston Martin Lagonda, sydd wedi dewis Cymru fel cartref trydaneiddio; busnesau fel INEOS Automotive, a sicrhawyd gennym yn ddiweddar iawn yn wyneb cystadleuaeth frwd o bedwar ban byd; busnesau fel Airbus, yr ydym yn eu cynorthwyo i ddiogelu dyfodol rhaglen Adain Yfory. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig dweud ein bod yn aml yn cael ein cyhuddo o fod yn amharod i fentro yn Llywodraeth Cymru. Rydym yn cael ein cyhuddo yr un mor aml o fentro gormod. Mae'n anodd iawn cael y cydbwysedd yn iawn ym marn pob unigolyn. Mae llawer o'r buddsoddiadau y mae'r Aelod wedi'u hamlinellu ac y gallai eu hamlinellu yn fuddsoddiadau yn y gorffennol a wnaed cyn y cynllun gweithredu ar yr economi, ac yn benodol y contract economaidd sy'n rhaid i fusnesau sy'n ceisio ein hadnoddau ariannol ei lofnodi. Ac yn y contract economaidd, mae'n rhaid iddynt ddangos yn glir sut y mae ganddynt botensial i dyfu, nid yn unig eu hunain ond hefyd ar gyfer y gadwyn gyflenwi; sut y maent yn hyrwyddo gwaith teg; sut y maent yn arwain tuag at ddatgarboneiddio Cymru a'u hôl troed eu hunain; a hefyd sut y maent yn cyfrannu at welliannau ym maes iechyd ac iechyd meddwl yn y gweithlu. Mae hwn yn ddatblygiad pwysig dros y 18 mis diwethaf gyda'r nod nid yn unig o sbarduno cynhyrchiant, ond o sbarduno twf cynhwysol hefyd, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth rydym yn hynod falch ohono. Yn ogystal, mae'r holl dystiolaeth bellach yn dangos bod cefnogaeth i fusnesau gan Busnes Cymru wedi arwain at gyfraddau goroesi uwch nag ymhlith busnesau nad ydynt wedi cael cefnogaeth gan Busnes Cymru, ac o ganlyniad i flynyddoedd o fuddsoddi strategol, mae gennym bellach gyfraddau cyflogaeth sydd bron gyfuwch ag erioed, cyfraddau anweithgarwch is nag erioed, mwy o fusnesau'n bodoli nag erioed o'r blaen yng Nghymru, a chyfradd genedigaethau uwch yma yng Nghymru na chyfartaledd y DU, ac yn hanfodol bwysig, mae gennym gyfleoedd yn dod i'r amlwg ledled Cymru bellach i fusnesau gychwyn drwy'r gefnogaeth honno y mae Busnes Cymru yn ei chynnig.
