Until we see the growth commission's report the plan would seem to be sterlingisation, so using the pound like Panama uses the USD before phasing in a Scottish Pound pegged to GBP. Using the transition period to create our own central bank etc. It seems at this stage that the recommendation being anything other than a Scottish Pound pegged to sterling is quite unlikely. That's assuming sterlingisation doesn't blow us up before we get to that point.

Being pegged to a much larger economy's currency is a terrible idea. Scotland is a net exporter so actually could sustain its own currency without too much fuss. That being said independence is still a terrible idea for basically all the other reasons ever.

If we think every Scot means every Scot of working age which these things usually mean then that's a boost of £14,563,200,000 which is ~8.6% of GDP if they mean literally every Scot then that's more like 13% of GDP. In context the GDP growth in 2017 was 1.1% which put the numbers there in the realms of absolutely loving ludicrous. Obviously the National is framing it as every person will be £4100 better off but I think it's a safe bet to assume they're actually taking about in increase in GDP. Though perhaps it's 13% over 10 years or something which would be near to bang on for 1.1% growth year on year of course.

Unreasonably precise amounts of money being lost or gained by each individual in Scotland is legally the only possible way to talk about any kind of economic projection, I believe we all learned this from the indyref
