The recovery in Scotland's economy is being felt across most industries, the Finance Secretary has said.

John Swinney was speaking as new figures showed international manufacturing exports grew by 3% in the first three months of the year.

More Scottish companies than ever before are being supported to expand internationally, he said.

The export rise includes a 12.5% boost in the volume of refined petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical products.

The increase was attributed to the resumption of production at the Grangemouth oil refinery following its temporary closure at the end of 2013.

The food and drink sector also recorded a 1.6% increase for the period January to March.
