A report provided the findings from the Welsh Co-operative and Mutuals Commission, which was established to make recommendations to the Welsh government on growing and developing the co-operative and mutual economy in Wales, in order to create jobs and wealth. The report outlined the contribution that co-operatives and mutuals made to the economy and concluded that they could contribute to the creation of jobs, improvement of educational attainment, and reduction of inequality. The report set out recommendations to improve the advice and support, finance, procurement opportunities, and policy networks for the sector, and to facilitate the acquisition and use of community assets.
