84 Treasury Management Strategy Statement 2020/21 PDF 224 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a
report of the Operational Director, Finance, proposing the Treasury Management
Strategy Statement (TMSS) which incorporated the Annual Investment Strategy and
the Minimum Revenue Provision Strategy for 2020/21.
The
TMSS was attached to the report and detailed the expected activities of the
treasury function in the forthcoming financial year (2020/21).
The
Local Government Act 2003 required the Council to “have regard to” the
Prudential Code and to set Prudential Indicators for the next three years, to
ensure that the Council’s capital investment plans were affordable, prudent and
sustainable. The Act therefore required the Council to set out its treasury
strategy for borrowing as well as an Annual Investment Strategy, which set out
the Council’s policies for managing its investments and for giving priority to
the security and liquidity of those investments. However, Government guidance
stated that authorities could combine the statement and the strategy into one
report, and the Council had adopted this approach.
Members
noted that the provision of a Minimum Revenue Provision Policy Statement was
required and a formal statement for approval was contained within the report at
paragraph 2.3, with Appendix A detailing the full policy.
RESOLVED:
That Council be recommended to adopt the policies, strategies, statements,
prudential and treasury indicators outlined in the report.
