Consideration was given to the recommendations of the Finance and Property Advisory Board at its meeting of 30 September 2009 regarding proposed amendments to the Treasury Management Strategy Statement and Annual Investment Strategy for 2009/10 in response to changing market conditions in order to improve the robustness of the Council's treasury arrangements.

(2) the counter party, group and sovereign ratings set out at Annex 1 to the report be adopted and incorporated in the Treasury Management and Investment Strategy for 2009/10; and
