Rwy’n hynod ddiolchgar i bawb sydd wedi gweithio gyda ni am eu hymroddiad, eu brwdfrydedd a'u harbenigedd i'n helpu i gyrraedd y garreg filltir bwysig hon. Mae Grŵp Llywio Buddsoddi Rhanbarthol Cymru, dan gadeiryddiaeth Huw Irranca-Davies AS, ynghyd â’r gweithgorau technegol, yn cynnwys trawstoriad o gynrychiolwyr o lywodraeth leol, y sector preifat, prifysgolion a cholegau a'r trydydd sector. Mae pob un wedi chwarae rhan werthfawr wrth ein cynghori ar yr hyn sydd wedi gweithio'n dda a'r hyn y gellir ei wneud yn well yn y tymor hwy. Rydym wedi cael cyfraniadau manwl a meddylgar gan bwyllgorau’r Senedd, yn enwedig y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth ychwanegol a’r Pwyllgor Cyllid. Mae llawer o’r un farn â hwy yn Senedd y DU hefyd, fel yr adroddwyd gan yPwyllgor Materion Cymreiga’r Grŵp Seneddol Hollbleidiol ar Gyllid Ôl-Brexit ar gyfer Cenhedloedd, Rhanbarthau ac Ardaloedd.Cawsom adborth a safbwyntiau helaeth hefyd drwy einhymgynghoriad cyhoeddusa gynhaliwyd yn gynharach eleni, yn ogystal â thrwy ddysgu am yr arferion gorau mewn gwledydd eraill drwy ein partneriaeth â’rSefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd (OECD).Mae’n galonogol fod bron pawb yng Nghymru, sy’n rhoi’r prif bwys ar y budd cyffredinol i economi Cymru a'i chymunedau, yn gallu cytuno ar yr un pwyntiau sylfaenol: bod yn rhaid cynnal y lefelau cyllid, a bod angen dull gweithredu Cymreig i ddarparu'r cyllid olynol hwn mewn cyd-destun Cymreig.
I am extremely grateful to everyone who has worked with us for their commitment, enthusiasm and expertise in helping us to reach this significant milestone. The Regional Investment for Wales Steering Group, chaired by Huw Irranca-Davies MS, and technical working groups, represent a cross-section of local government, the private sector, universities and colleges, and the third sector. All have played a valuable role in advising us about what has worked well and what can be done better for the longer term. We have had detailed and thoughtful contributions from Senedd Committees, in particular the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee and the Finance Committee. Many of their views are shared in Parliament too as reported by theWelsh Affairs Committeeand theAll-Party Parliamentary Group for Post-Brexit Funding for Nations, Regions and Local Areas. We also drew extensive feedback and views from ourpublic consultationheld earlier this year, as well as best practice in other countries throughour partnership with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. We are encouraged that nearly everyone in Wales, with the broader interest of the benefit to the Welsh economy and its communities as our focus, can agree on the same fundamental points: that levels of funding must be maintained, and that a Welsh approach is needed to deliver this replacement funding for a Welsh context.
