Reasons for the recommendations

The Treasury Management Code requires the Council to approve annually a Treasury Management Strategy and to provide a mid-year update on Treasury Management activities to the Council. It is a requirement that Treasury Management is scrutinised during the year which falls within Cabinet’s remit.

 

To facilitate the decision-making process and support capital investment decisions the Prudential Code requires the Council to agree a minimum number of prudential indicators.
