The report of the Director of Finance and Transformation provided an update on treasury management activity undertaken during April to August of the current financial year. A mid-year review of the Treasury Management and Annual Investment Strategy for 2022/23 was also included in the report.
Investment income at the end of August 2022 (month five of the financial year) from cash flow surpluses, core cash investments, multi-asset diversified income and property funds was expected to outperform the original budget estimates by upward of £350,000. However, this was to be balanced against any downturn in the economy where investment values might fall significantly. It was noted that economic growth forecasts were expected to fall further given the current global economic factors and the cost of living crisis.
The parameters to limit the Borough Council’s exposure to investment risks were summarised in Annex 5. There were no changes to the current approved risk parameters proposed at this time.
RECOMMENDED: That the following be commended to Council
(1) the action taken in respect of treasury management activity for the period April to August 2022 be endorsed; and
(2) the existing parameters intended to limit the Council’s exposure to investment risks, as set out at Annex 5 to the report, be retained.
