Minutes:

The Executive considered a report setting out the proposed Treasury Management Strategy for 2019/20-2021/22.

 

The Executive Member for Finance introduced the report and advised the meeting that the Strategy formed part of the Council’s affordability and sustainability calculations because it linked through to the Capital Programme and demonstrated how the projects would be funded.  It also showed that the Programme was being funded on a safe and sustainable basis.  In addition the Strategy sets out the Council’s investments and Councillor Pollock explained that because money was often received in advance of projects due to be undertaken this money was used efficiently and effectively.  He further reported that the Council continued to take a cautious approach to investments and all investments were linked to UK assets.

 

RESOLVED that Council be recommended to approve the following:

 

1)         Capital Prudential indicators, 2019/20;

 

2)        Borrowing strategy 2019/20;

 

3)        Annual Investment Strategy 2019/20;

 

4)        Flexible use of capital receipts strategy; 

 

5)        MRP policy; and

 

6)        Treasury indicators: limits to borrowing activity 2019/20.
