Murray said the Spring Statement would provide an extra £28m to the Scottish government in the coming financial year.
He told BBC Scotland News: “Spending is up, growth is up. More money in people’s pockets. That’s a really positive Spring Statement.”
Murray said: “People at home will be looking across the border and seeing cranes in the sky in England, shovels in the ground and waiting lists coming down in the NHS.
“And they’ll be thinking why are not getting it here and it’s because that money is not being spent by the Scottish government in areas that are priorities for the Scottish people.”
Murray said the increase in military spending was “great for Scotland” and added it would support jobs, boost economic growth and help the defence industry.
The Fraser of Allander Institute , externalagreed the Scottish government would receive an extra £28m in 2025-26 as a result of the chancellor’s spending plans.
However, it said the Labour administration’s proposals would make Holyrood’s longer-term financial outlook “significantly more challenging”.
The think tank reported the welfare reforms would lead to a £200m cut in Treasury funding for Scotland in 2028-29, and a £425m cut in 2029-30.
It said overall the Scottish government budget would be about £900m worse off by 2030 than was previously projected.
Murray said ministers would need to wait for a spending review in summer to confirm the financial impact of the statement.
