“Mae bylchau amlwg yn y cyllid lle y dylai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn buddsoddi yng Nghymru ond y mae wedi dewis peidio â gwneud hynny – mae hynny’n ffaith. Nid yw’r trefniadau ar gyfer disodli Cronfeydd Strwythurol yr UE yn glir o hyd. Ond rydyn ni yn gwybod bod y trefniadau hynny ymhell o fodloni’r £375m y flwyddyn roedden ni yn ei dderbyn – dyma’r cronfeydd sy’n cefnogi sgiliau, busnesau a datgarboneiddio. Mae disgwyl i brosiect rheilffyrdd HS2 gael effaith negatif o £150m y flwyddyn ar economi Cymru, a gallai’r diffyg cymorth i ddod o hyd i ateb hirdymor ar gyfer tomenni glo Cymru arwain at bwysau ariannol ychwanegol o £60m y flwyddyn o leiaf.
“The fact remains that there are clear gaps in funding where the UK government should be investing in Wales and it has chosen not to. Arrangements for replacing EU Structural Funds remain unclear but what we do know is it falls well short of the £375 million we were receiving – these are funds that support skills, businesses and decarbonisation. HS2 is expected to have a negative impact of £150 million per year on the Welsh economy, while the failure to back a long-term solution for Wales’ coal tips could create an additional financial pressure of at least £60 million per year.
